He have always been around art and influenced by it. His grandparents were pioneers of the contemporary art movement in India in the 1940s and founded Gallery Chemould. At the same time, he was also passionate about animals, horses in particular, and went on to pursue a formal education and a career in the equestrian field. Several years ago, he started cultivating his passion for photography and naturally gravitated to photographing nature and animals. The main change he would like to see in the world is humanity living more in harmony with nature, and not at the expense of nature.

This new work follows his solo show “Lovers and Enemies” in London, where he showcased portraits of friends and family. Ritchie is known for his expressionist style, using thick oil paints and expressive brushstrokes. He also draws inspiration from various artists, including his parents, Madonna and filmmaker Guy Ritchie. One of his recent works, Mum and Dad, features a figurative portrait of his parents facing each other.

Steven Lee Graver Is a British artist currently living in India. His work first brought him to India in 1997 painting commissions. He fell in love with the country, and decided to make it his home.
From 2007 -2013, he took up a job as creative director in an advertising company in Mumbai. After working for six years he decided to quit making art on computers and rekindle his passion for painting. Mostly an acrylic artist, he tries to let his paintings speak for themself, as they represent a moment in time, and each one of them can tell the story of what they portray.
Mr. Drip is a Spanish visual artist who developed the dripping painting technique to be able to portray any subject in just a few minutes, without touching his canvas. The process of creating the artwork is something the artist shares with his audience, offering a unique live experience that has already been lived by icons such as Will Smith, Neymar Jr., Tom Cruise or Sara Sampaio.
Mr. Drip created his own unique technique by dripping paint on the canvas using a spatula. This controlled yet free movement creates multidimensional lines through spontaneous movements, without touching the canvas at any point in time. His artwork is one part of the experience and he brings his work to life in front of a live audience, encouraging them to see and feel the painting as it’s being created, and giving them a glimpse of the process behind the work.

Her experience in life has fueled creativeness. She has developed a unique style that is characterized by the use of different mediums such as acrylic, oil, and marker colors. If you take a look at her drawings, you will notice a distinguished drawing style of unique patterns making a beautiful mix of Surrealism and Abstract.

A true renaissance man, Luke is unafraid of trying his hand at, or lending his natural talents to various mediums of self-expression. All of which being led by his ethos, which amalgamates Love, Faith and Philosophy, and can be found in each area of his Creative Artistry.
Rohit Rattan a published Fine Art Photographer based in Dubai. Rohit’s core work plays on contrast to induce a surreal and minimalistic world that surrounds us with a large portion of negative space, to get people to see the power of photography and what remains unseen in this world of digital saturation. His work reflects a thin balance between emotions and expressions and its endless variations. The absence of colors accentuates the expressive power of the image itself whose interpretation becomes a medium of subtle yet artistic expression of solitude combined with his own response to the world around him depicting an emotive charge.
Harsh is a self-taught photographer who loves the freedom provided by the camera to satiate his creativity. His favourite captures are of wild beasts in their natural habitat, but his best ones are those taken in the concrete jungle. He finds inspiration in the juxtaposed shapes of urban landscapes, the play of light and shadow in nature and the million stories hidden behind the eyes or in the wrinkles of the people he meets on his travels.
By supporting organizations like UNICEF India and Dubai Cares, we are dedicated to using art as a vehicle for positive change.
