My Story
My journey as an artist began in the quiet landscapes of Uttarakhand, where nature became my first teacher. I was always drawn to the rhythm of lines, patterns, and organic forms, but for a long time, I was unsure of my direction and voice as a contemporary artist. Joining BAF became a turning point in my journey.
Through mentorship, discussions, and constant encouragement, I began to understand my practice more deeply. I was guided not only to improve my technical skills but also to reflect on my ideas, my roots, and the conceptual strength of my work. This process helped me develop confidence in my visual language and trust my instincts.
After my association with BAF, I experienced significant growth, both personally and professionally. My work gained clarity, and I became more focused and committed to my path. Opportunities to present my work and connect with a wider artistic community gave me a sense of recognition and responsibility.
BAF played an important role in shaping my journey. It helped me move from uncertainty to self-belief, and from silence to expression. I continue to grow with the values and guidance I received, and this remains a strong foundation for my future as an artist.
