About Mr. Kamal Giria

Simar Galleries is co-founded by Mr. Kamal Giria. A Bangalore based business baron, Mr Kamal Giria has established a state-of-the-art granite manufacturing company and exports granite across the world with offices in Bangalore (India), Dallas (USA) & Houston (USA). He is an extensive globe trotter. His avid love for photography led him to naturally absorb the fine nuances of art while visiting various art shows and interacting with artists in the global melting pot. Mr. Kamal Giria is leveraging his wealth of experience and has co-founded the gallery with his wife and artist Mrs. Pramila Giria.

About Mrs. Pramila Giria

Born in Rajasthan and brought up in Tamil Nadu, Pramila Giria’s art was heavily influenced by the best of both cultures. The vibrancy of her art is a complete celebration of life. Ranging from flora, fauna, spirituality, still, life, landscapes and portraits, her work reflects the aspects of her personality – peace, calm and serenity. Working with oils and acrylic medium she captures the heart of the theme through texture, the richness of colour and the illusion of light.

As blessed as one could be, her supporting family cheered and encouraged her passion and talent. Her sibling Pradeep, who recognised his sister’s special gift, encouraged her to enrol in a fine arts college and eventually arm herself with a

degree in Fine arts from Stella Maris, Chennai.

Her journey as an artist was most rewarding when the accolades came calling. She won the second prize for participating in “A Photo Journey of Women Empowerment” and painting exhibition on “Female Foeticide Eradication Movement and Rural Development”.

In addition, she contributed to society by donating her art to various organisations selflessly. Her husband Kamal, on the other hand, made it a mission to bring her work to the limelight and showcase her talent to the world.
