Kiran Kumari, hails from Tirupati, a pilgrimage city located in the vicinity of the Tirupati Temple. She traces Tirupati in her paintings, and has chosen subjects like streets, Auto rickshaws, buses, traffic, old buildings etc. She has deliberately maintained the composition in her own way and given it a touch of her individuality. She has composed the colours Red, yellow, Black very beautifully. The bus, the auto, in her paintings is not only a bus or an auto, but it is a form, where she has tactically cut the form to arrange & avoid the normal composition and make it look unconventional and out of the box.
