' SPIRIT '

- AVANTHI BIJU PANICKER 

I am from a family of strong academic background so exceled in academics, I have a high IQ and excellent with logic so could clear many tough entrance exams, I hold an MBA finance and masters in psychotherapy and counselling. I have an experience as a fashion designer and so goes my acquaintance with fabric, texture, draping and construction.

My interest in color and texture started at a very early age, as there was no guidance or exposure to abstract art, I would do all the layering, coloring and texturing in my mind and for years before actually started to put it in physical form. This technique has made my visualizations very strong; my mind can now experiment with various materials and textures and colors and see the outcomes without actually doing it.

Mind being just one, my art is constantly influenced by my knowledge, exposure to other field’s visualization and the skills acquired over a period of time.
