Vaikuntam paints colourful and elaborately dressed Telangana region men and seductive women.

The simple women become larger than life as they fill the small format of his paintings draped in bright Sircilla saris.

A film was made based on his story as Rangula Kala, which displayed the range of his work as young upcoming painter.
