Hanshika Agarwal is a class 8 student at Apeejay School, Svran Global in Faridabad. She is a very talented painter with a natural sense and love for colours. In this week’s Aspiring Artist interview, Hanshikha highlights that the most important thing in art is to enjoy the work and celebrate every colour one sees and uses. Read edited excerpts:

When did you draw for the first time?

I’ve loved drawing for a long time. My first drawing was of a tree. I made it when I was in Kindergarten. From that day onwards, I remember, I got interested in art. I just love colours and colourful things.

Which art form is your favourite?

My favourite art form is painting. I love it because this art form includes many colours thereby, making each creation very unique.

 How does Apeejay School, Svran Global, Faridabad support you as an artist?

My school supports me a lot in improving my paintings. My art teacher Anjali ma’am is very supportive and helpful. She constantly guides me while correcting my mistakes and helping me improve my artwork.

How would you define art?

Art is something created with imagination. It means fun with colours!

How much time does it take you to complete an artwork?

I give around one hour daily towards practicing art.  An artwork hence takes roughly 3-4 days to be completed.  I mostly base my paintings on flowers and nature themes.

What’s next in the pipeline?

I want to make more floral and Mandala paintings.

Any new art form you wish to learn?

I really wish to learn Mandala art. It is so beautiful!

Lastly, other hobbies apart from art?

Craft works and reading.
