The American artist Tony DiTerlizzi once said, “Illustrations can be a big window: a looking glass into author’s imagination.” As described by him, illustrations truly reflect the creator’s vision.

Ranging from special occasions to day-to-day moments, every idea manifests itself creatively in the form of illustrations. Although abstract, still, it is a great way of putting across the message in the most fun, artistic and aesthetic way possible.

Some great Indian illustrators are breaking the barriers and social norms, bringing about a positive change through their craft. We bring to you some of such exceptional works.

Kinshuk, a child prodigy, started showing her artistic inclination from an early age, when she started drawing almost perfect geometrical shapes since the age of three. She has participated and won in various competitions at national and international level.

Kinshuk Agrawal

Her first achievement was at a very young age of five when she won a silver medal in the inter-state roller skating championships held at Mumbai by Olympic association of India in under 5 age category.

Being a creative person, Kinshuk is also interested in recitation, storytelling and singing.

She gives the credit for her multi-talented personality to her loving and encouraging parents.

We wish her all the very best for her future and hope she continues to achieve laurels as a talented Indian.

Inspired by the highly acclaimed modern painter MF Hussain, Mrinal Dutt, a young promising artist making huge strides in the art world, employs his art as a medium for expressing his perspective and imagination. A self-trained craftsperson, he has many accolades and exhibitions to his credit, both in India and abroad.

Ardently passionate about his craft, his interest can be traced to his boyhood days when he particularly enjoyed sketching and painting. Ever since, he has closely held on to his passion, consistently refining his skills and perfecting his techniques in his growing up years and today, we know him as a stalwart in his field. His oeuvre is primarily reflective of the diversity of the Indian mythology and culture.

His mythical rendition of the lived experience of Indian life is exemplified in his work on the rural Indian women, for which he had won the gold medal at the Art Fest 2016, organized by Kala Aksar Group.

He was also felicitated in the Art Fiesta held last year from 22nd -26th December at Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur.

Some of his work

Admiring his inventiveness and creativity, The Talented Indian is delighted to share a few paintings from his collections and wishes him the best in all his future endeavors.
