Biography

Hey, I’m Karthik! I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember—since I was three, in fact—and I never really stopped. Art has always been my way of understanding the world, a space where I could turn thoughts into something real, something alive.

Since childhood, I’ve poured my heart into it, and along the way, I’ve been lucky to win multiple art competitions—starting as a little kid with crayons to now, still pushing my limits as an artist. But more than the awards, it’s the joy of creating that’s kept me going.

It was my dream to study visual communication design at one of the best design colleges, and somehow, I made it happen. Looking back, I feel nothing but gratitude. Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love—telling stories through illustration, film, animation, and comics. There’s something magical about bringing worlds to life, about making people feel something through art. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
