A Journey Through
Wildlife Art
Creating wildlife art through traditional mediums, inspired by the landscapes and animals of Bandipur.
I grew up near the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, where nature was always a part of everyday life. The forests, animals, and quiet beauty of the wild left a lasting impression on me and slowly shaped my journey as a wildlife artist.
Through mediums like oil painting, scratchboard, graphite, charcoal, and pastels, I try to capture the character and spirit of wildlife in a simple and honest way, whether it is the strength of a tiger, the calm presence of a deer, or the movement of birds in flight.
My artworks have been exhibited across India and internationally, including in Bangalore and Singapore. Every piece I create is inspired by the natural world and my admiration for the wildlife that continues to inspire me.
Art, for me, is a way of expressing my respect and admiration for wildlife and nature.
Every artwork begins with observing the animal closely, its form, movement, behavior, and presence in nature.
