Art Is Therapy!

Sri Priyatham, Illustrator, Sketch Artist and Painter I am an illustrator. I practice classical fine art illustrations as my niche with a touch of realism and depth in detail. I work with both traditional and digital mediums. I think I was 6 years old when I started drawing, I’ve been drawing my entire conscious life. I don't think it was a coincidence that my mum asked me to replicate a drawing my classmate did and this was during my 2nd standard. It was a crutch to my bad academic track. Once I started and I kept drawing and never stopped.

How does this help you out in life? It’s more about finding a bigger purpose than minute reliefs, I feel. I wouldn’t go with fancy terms like “art is a therapy” to me. But, it led me to a disciplined life, taught me to be patient, consistent and not to work for the result. The fun is all in the process, the journey. Working for a result never ends well. I can extract all elements of life from the above.

Do you find art important? Absolutely. It gives a sensible perspective to life and also towards humanity. Art doesn’t necessarily need to be a profession to feel that way. Learning any performance art rewires the brain in a different way. It helps you question your purpose in life. Makes one more calm and relieved. Soyes, Art is essential!
