When did your passion for drawing begin?
I have been fond of colors and paintings from the very beginning. Art has always been a vital part of my expression.

What is your favorite art form and why?
Sketching is my favourite because it serves as a great stress reliever for me. The simplicity of pencil and paper allows for endless creativity.

How does your school support your artistic endeavours?
My school supports me as an artist by engaging me in various art competitions, which help me grow and showcase my talent. Their encouragement fosters a nurturing environment for creativity.

How do you define art?
Art is the best skill to represent a thing or an emotion. It bridges gaps between thoughts and feelings, allowing us to communicate in profound ways.

How much time does it typically take to complete a piece, and what themes do you explore?

The time varies based on the form of art I’m doing. Generally, if I work regularly, it takes about three hours to complete a piece. Nature is a common theme in my artwork, reflecting my love for the environment.

What upcoming projects are you excited about?
My upcoming artworks will focus on sceneries and sketches that address some common issues in India. I hope to inspire change through my artistic expression.

Are there any new art forms you’d like to learn?
I wish to learn portraits and Madhubani art. Exploring these styles would broaden my artistic horizons.

What other hobbies do you have besides art?
Apart from art, I love to travel. Experiencing different cultures fuels my creativity and inspires my artwork.
