As a result of polio, both hands and legs of Mr. M V Ravindran are completely paralysed since childhood.

Mr. Ravindran started to paint and draw with his mouth at a young age, at first on his own, and later own under the guidance of mouth painter Ganesh Kumar (MFPA scholarship holder). The artist takes great delight in mouth painting, which is also reflected in his works.

He has been a member of MFPA since 2003.
