`I paint exactly what I see,? says Vaikuntham about his beauteous Telengana women, festooned with their large sindoor bindis, foreheads spread with sandalwood paste, and embellished with their bangles and ornate jewels. It is his ability to create the flow of fluidity in the drapes that excites and entices. If the women have a dark bronzed Dravidian flavour their saris are always festively luxuriant and aboslutely throbbing with the brightness of intent. His works of women are like a study in the culture of a socio-religious blend of rituals and everyday symbols in the lingua franca of universal experiences and evocations
