I completed a Masters in Biological Sciences (Human Physiology) but I was always interested in Fine Art particularly painting and sketching. A self-taught landscape and surrealistic artist, I am new to this world of painting having only been painting for 3 years. I created my first art work in oil that was highly appreciated by my family and friends. After such an encouraging reaction to my first work of art, how could I just stop there? There was an urge inside of me to keep creating so I grabbed my brushes and paints and started playing with colors. Art became an obsession in my daily life. YouTube tutorials helped me considerably. I love Bob Ross's videos, his way of creating magic on canvas, his genuine style and calming way of painting inspired me to paint in his style. After a while, I discovered my own painting techniques. Whatever little money I had, I spent it on buying art material to pursue my dream of creating a world that I see, on canvas. A nature lover with a deep aesthetic sense, I am inspired by this beautiful world to continue even though I sold only one of my works of art. In the next five years, I wish to grow my skills each day. I feel unstoppable! Although I started with oils, I switched to acrylics because of feasibility. I love painting on unusual surfaces such as on wood and sea shells. I discovered that I enjoy painting on small canvases and have done 30 small paintings no bigger than 3 inches. Adding depth and detail to such a small size is quite challenging and fun.
