I 'm an Odia artrepreneur, engaged in muralism, street art, and illustration. My painting style is mostly bold, simple, everyday imagery, have vibrant block colors and a modern "hip" feel.
From an early age I was eager to create and show the world what it means to be different. I started playing with paint during my engineering college days in 2010 and since then everything changed and opened up a new way of experiencing, translating, sharing & being in the world.
Through my painting I try to interpret a relationship between the still, soundless art and the moving, restless world. Sometimes my art is inspired by the people and sometimes it inspires.
My professional career as an artist and illustrator began in 2011 when I started working with
"The Broken Scooter"(webzine) and later joined "The BAM Effect"(Graffiti group) in 2012 which worked actively in Odisha for three years without defacing any public property. Later I started working with the 'World Comics India' in 2014, breaking stereotypes and illustrating facts about Northeast India. Soon I began receiving commissions for my artwork, which have continued to grow in scope and size, leading to today’s large-scale murals.
I've painted murals for private residences, to commercial spaces and to educational institutions around Bhubaneswar and Konark as well as in Khurda, Jharsuguda, Delhi and Rourkela.
I've also worked as an illustrator and graphic designer for an impressive list of clients.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing is certainly a way to get off the tourist track and it’s oftentimes let me explore a totally different culture! In a line I would say one can have a memorable non-touristic experience. Most importantly, FOOD. Staying with a CS host, you get to eat what they eat in normal life.
