Murali had completed Post Graduate in Mechanical Engineering and worked in India, Jordan, Qatar,Sultanate of Oman and Malaysia. He had participated in various painting competitions during his school and college days and won many prizes. His work evolved from painting expressionistic landscapes to abstract ones. From his fluent oil colors of landscapes executed in the early 90's he moved towards a more expressive language painting landscapes of the mind.The unique energy vibrating with color in his abstract and pop art are now more subtle but equally, if not more, dynamic.
