Bio
I am a contemporary digital artist who started creating unique artworks during the lockdown period. Moving away from traditional mediums, I have embraced the digital world to create emotive and thought-provoking pieces. Drawing inspiration from my Panjabi heritage and religious roots, my works is a blend of modern and traditional styles. I aim for my artwork to be not only visually stunning, but to also carry a deeper meaning while being emotive due to the consistent moody colour pallet in use.
Displaying my artwork at this exhibition is a great opportunity for me to gage in person reactions to my work and really go into depth with individuals who are drawn to my work and discuss pieces further.
My advice to young creatives is to just start. Fail as you go along and do not be afraid to make mistakes. In addition to this, I would make it clear that this is often a personal commitment where hard work and a willingness to learn and an ability to ask for help is essential. It is great to surround yourself with supportive people.
