HOW IT STARTED
Founded in 2024 by Mithilesh, my studio was established with the goal of introducing diverse methods and techniques through studio-based, short-term intensive courses. This initiative arose from the lack of atelier-based training and life drawing sessions I personally found missing in education.
Purpose: To bring a rigorous, atelier-based methodology, alongside other traditional and modern techniques, to Bengaluru, offering students access to world-class art education.
Vision: To cultivate a vibrant art community focused on mastering the fundamentals, empowering students to apply their knowledge to both application-based and traditional arts.
Core Values:
-
Student Progress: We prioritize individual growth, fostering an environment where personal development is key.

Strong Foundations: While we don’t promote a specific art style, we emphasize a solid foundation in technique, art history, anatomy, and composition.

MISSION
