Gopal creation of purely abstract work followed a long
period of development and maturation of intense theoretical
thought based on his personal artistic experiences.
Lines, shapes, colors, textures, and use of space always express the
reality found in nature, but its structure rather than its
appearance.
Gopal learned from various sources during his childhood
days, was amazed by the hoardings and signboard artists.
The fascination for color symbolism and psychology
continued as he grew.
His interest in art and design
led him to join the art college. He graduated in
Fine Arts from JNT University, Hyderabad in 1996, and
later majored from University of Hyderabad in 1998.
His proficiency as a designer amplifies his other abilities,
which are evident from his contributions at reputed
companies like RK Swamy/BBDO Advertising, Pramati,
IBM, YASU (now SAP), Microsoft, Apigee (now Google), McKinsey & Company, Progress Software, CommScope Inc,
Magnitude Software, Inrhythm Inc, IIIT-H, Celigo Inc, and so on.
