I’m an Art Director, a sculptor, a trans-disciplinary artist working across multiple mediums to see the unseen. 

​

Born in Madurai, the land of too many temples and aesthetic vibrance. As a kid, I was neck-deep into bones and bugs. Not the poetic kind. Real ones. Dead ones. I used to collect skulls like trophies, stack beetles in matchboxes. Honestly, if sketchbooks hadn’t found me first, I’d probably be mentored by Gunther von Hagens by now. But no—ballpoint pens happened. Cheap, loyal, no drama. One pen turned into hundreds. A desk turned into a workshop.

​

Then came College of Fine Arts in Bangalore, where I got my hands dirty with clay, plaster, paper, wood, metal, and the occasional chaos in my sculpture programme. Sensitised by materials and mediums, opened up to the world. Covid-19 pushed the tactile into digital. I started tweaking pixels, drawing for films, posters, titles, logos—wherever I could find the spice of art. Somewhere between all this, I stumbled into animation. Planted some keyframes. Broke timelines. Hit ease-in, ease-out. Still glitching somewhere between frame 23.976 and 24.

Haven’t left since.  

 

Cut to June 2020, I joined LastBench Studio as one of the founding crew. Started with two ardent creators and a blank wall, left behind a team of 20+. I led visuals, built the studio’s design language from scratch—bold, diverse, and concept-first. Directed films, drew frames, launched websites, printed books. 45+ madcap projects across mediums, all stitched with care. Mentored a brilliant team. Redesigned our workspace, benches got better. Started LastBench Originals to keep us restless, made three experimental pieces that won awards. Clients from farmers to fintech, got inclined towards understanding non profit impact sectors.  

 

Then came September 2024. Packed my bags and flew to London to join the Royal College of Art. While everyone expecting me to pursue animation, I opted sculpture to find a different spice of art to hit me. Looking for spice in Britain? as if I hadn’t had enough in India. Installed birds on lawn (Layover), made thousands of tools to move (Genesis), questioned permanence and social existence, voiced with peculiarity, and somewhere in between, just like that my Master’s degree got over in my CAS.

 

Did I spark any collaborative thought?

We should catchup before the winter gets us. Wdyt?
