Biographical Profile

“Hello, I’m Artist SKR, from Uttar Pradesh, India. My love for art began in childhood, painting and expressing through the canvas. As a Dedicated Visual Artist, I’ve spent eight fulfilling years refining my skills with acrylics, exploring three unique styles, and embracing sketching as part of my creative expression.

My artistry has led me to numerous national and international exhibitions. These experiences have not only shaped my art but have also connected me with a diverse audience, allowing my stories to be explored and felt in different corners of the world.

I find immense inspiration in the works of the great Leonardo da Vinci, whose paintings continually encourage and guide my artistic journey. Much like him, I’m on a quest to paint my creations with depth and beauty.

My art journey is driven by a desire to turn imagination into vibrant images. I’ve learned through playful experiments with colors and ideas, solely expressing them on canvas. While I didn’t pursue formal fine arts education, I am a graduate but entirely self-taught in the art realm. Inspiration and wisdom come from experienced artists who generously share their lessons with me.

A personal favorite quote that resonates deeply with my work is by Vincent Van Gogh: ‘I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.’ Each stroke on my canvas is a journey—an earnest endeavor to capture the essence of emotion and the beauty of imagination.

I think – “Art is more than strokes and shades; it’s a story waiting to be explored and felt, inviting you into a world where colors speak and emotions echo.”
