MANASI PATANKAR - ILLUSTRATOR/GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I paint my thoughts into concepts where surrealism is my reality and I have a soft spot for loud colours. This contrast of vibrant colours match the fantasy worlds that I like to build, when I want to escape the dull tones of a mundane life. The desire to create a parallel surreal universe fuels my whimsical forms and makes me a very ambitious artist. Using common objects whilst changing their functional qualities for shock value, I make my art exciting. My practice revolves around life experiences and socio-personal themes that mark my artwork.
My passion for creative thinking and illustrating define my perspective and action towards everything I do. Growing up, if I fell short of words in the middle of explaining something to my friends or family, I would turn to quick doodling or diagrams to get the point across. Expressing through visuals is a language I know best. Apart from drawing I also enjoy sports, hiking and scribbling on bedsheets.
