I cannot remember when I picked up my first half and pencil and drew something. My first primary influence was an art teacher in school who pushed me, coaxed me and bribed me with a glass of milk with some fresh loaves to continue drawing. I took this advice and that decision would later alter the very course of my life. If one asks me , what I have done apart from sleeping, I would be this: creating art.

In my personal space, I dabble in calligraphy, sketching, painting with various media.

Welcome to The Jungle
This was an interactive art project created for Whassup Andheri, mainly aimed at kids as well as an eye opener for adults.

What started as an idea, became an experiment and later, a movement. Now the mantle has been passed and the festival happened …
