Sanjay Lavakare used to be a part of Bengaluru's IT industry before pursuing his true passion for art. After working in IT for 16 years, he decided to take up painting full-time instead of opting for a sabbatical offered by his company. Sanjay is a regular at the Chithra Santhe and recently showcased his latest artwork capturing the essence of Koramangala. Collaborating with his old neighbors who still reside in L Street, Koramangala, they curated 50-60 unique elements specific to the neighborhood for his painting. While some elements are easily recognizable, others require a bit of guessing to identify.
