I come with an academic background of mainstream science ( a master's degree in Biotechnology) reinforced with training in visual arts and a passion for photography. Throughout my student days I have been an avid reader of story books and a dreamer. I had developed a taste for almost everything that the heroes of those fantasy stories did! From animal behavior to martial arts, from robots to dragons! I chose concept art/ vfx as a career because this was the field where I can create those magical worlds that I have been dreaming from my childhood. I started as a concept artist in a very small studio in India (doesn't exist anymore!) and got some early publications in Ballistic Publication's Expose 10, Expose 11 and de Artist Matte Painting 3. With recognition, came confidence and some freelance work opportunities from US and Europe. So I left that job started freelancing for a stretch of 6 years in a row. Then I joined Anibrain (India) as the Art Lead and after that Red Chillies VFX(India) also as the Art Lead. As the head of art, I had to collaborate with the compositing and the 3D departments to make sure that the aesthetics and the logical designs of any given production is not compromised. From building early concept sketches and storyboards to finished matte paintings- I have done and supervised each and every step. After meeting some family issues I had to head back to my native place and started freelancing again. So, here I am as a freelance concept artist with an experience encompassing films, games, graphic novels, book covers, posters etc... and an inclination towards logical designs.
