Subhash Babu Ravuri creates images on nature and women. Realism portrayal is his passion. The paintings are based on his core idea of enhancing creativity through art. He says excellence is a continuous journey and not a destination. He keeps on probing his inner abilities as an artist.
His marvels include Sand casting mural of Buddha, "beauty inside nature" series where feelings of women are depicted as manifestations of nature. His drawings take shape through lines and curves which give crystal clear definition of what's on display. Subhash Babu is not just an artist but also a great thinker. He held various positions, such as Vice president, Secretary, and other key positions at Hyderabad Art Society. Subhash is probably the only one who ignored his personal niceties for the sake of Art.

Digital Artworks brings you a series of information on SUBHASH BABU. Here is Part1
Subhash Babu had an awesome childhood in his native village Brahmanakodur, also the home town of celebrated painter and art director, Gokhale. Subhash Babu had everything in his child to play for. The only thing he would want to forget was his mother's departure from this world in 1978. The towering chariot that stood before the temple, the seven 'kalashas' atop the temple, and a lot of other things were firmly engraved in his mind. His association with the village was so imminent that he could still remind the Buckingham Canal, where his father Nagabhushanachary made him to swim by keeping his hands under the boy's belly. The fun and frolic he had with other mates too was part of his pleasant memories during childhood.
Subhash Babu's father had everything to pat for as he took a lot of care to see that the small boy's mind would never traverse around lost mother. Babu's father had to marry another woman who sang melodiously. Subhash Babu had some tough time adjusting to new guardianship.
The visuals of chairs, tables, benches, vessels and their shadows in the books kept by his father had taken shape on the paper and thrilled him. He completed his high school education at Pacchalatadiparru. The days he used to go for swimming in the canal between Tadiparru and Doppalapudi to collect lotus flowers, the days he went up the towering palm trees for palm fruits the kernels of which he relished slo were part of his fond memories.
The memories of those foregone childhood adventures in the lap of nature are safely settled in the mind. He savoured the beauty of the thickly grown flower trees and the changing colours of the sky. He could hear the flowers groan as they fell on the ground swept off by the brisk breeze. He could only sympathize with them. He could here and enjoy the nature's serenade in its pristine glory.
His father, as a drawing teacher has a profound influence on Subhash Babu. "He was a true Gandhian. He vehemently opposed the evils of caste system and the practice of one embracing profession as dictated by caste. He took part in the freedom movement and propagated against untouchability in the villages. He practically dined with the untouchables sitting next to them. No amount of dissuading by his aunt did change him for his chosen beliefs and pursuits. He discarded the sacred religious thread around his neck. He refused perform any of the religious ceremonies" says Subhash Babu. The progressive thinking and actions of his father made Subhash feel proud.
The life and precepts of Lord Buddha have also been a great guiding force through out the life of Subhash Babu. While he was working in Hyderabad Public School in Begumpet, he created a sand-casting mural in front of the art department. A similar mural is to be found in courtyard of the house of Jaswantha Rao, a collecter of paintings.

The fairs and festivals celebrated in villages held a great charm for Subhash Babu right from his childhood. The Jaipur Fresco painted on a big canvas (24' x 2') adorns the Library Hall of Hyderabad Public School.
As if providential one day Subhash Babu chanced to meet up Saidayya in a bus and the two engaged in a conversation and learnt that there was a college for fine arts. He later applied and secured the admission. Says Subhash Babu, "It was a dream come true".
