TIME LINE AND PROFILE KISALAY VORA ARTIST MUMBAI, INDIA KISALAY PRAMODRAY VORA 28 - 08 - 1970 B achelor of Fine Ar ts As far back as my memory takes me, I remember myself with a drawing tool in my hands. Robbing charcoals from my neighbor’s warehouse and drawing on large walls opposite my home, was the most exciting time that I remember. Energy, vigor and depth always intrigued me since childhood. My father, an extremely creative and imaginative person, pushed my creative limits, which added life to my shapes and forms. His narration of a story used to be a breathtaking experience and that became the basis of my communication through art. My gentle mother is my role model for my emotional connect with life and all it encompasses. History, modern viewpoint to mythology, festivity, people, wildlife, music, local outdoor life around me became my main source of life energy.
