I create art to express emotions, connect with culture, and bring traditional stories to life through my paintings.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love illustration and mixed-media—digital painting combined with hand-made collage and textures to build vivid, story-driven scenes. I enjoy creating Kalamkari-inspired and acrylic paintings that combine traditional patterns with modern concepts, especially portraits and detailed designs.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere: nature, film, music, everyday life, dreams, travel, and other artists. Small moments, colors, and unexpected textures spark ideas I develop into narratives. I find inspiration in Indian culture, nature, traditional art forms, and everyday life. Patterns, colors, and stories around me influence my creativity.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in improving my art skills, materials, and creating more meaningful artworks. I also want to teach art to beginners and children and grow as an artist.
