Vinay Jalla is known as the "Banana Artist". Through his signature Ripening Stages of a Banana watercolour series, he blends environmental passion, food culture, and artistic vision. From the first green peel to the golden ripeness, from kitchen muffins to compost bins, Vinay’s art invites us to reconsider the everyday banana in all its and life stages.
