Yin Yang Kainaat

I am a Commercial Arts graduate with specialization in Illustration. After the course I started working with different organizations and publishing companies. I have worked as Graphic Designer and Illustrator. In the course of time I got the opportunity to meet,work and interact with many great personalities who all have excelled in their fields. Each and every time my experience was different, fun filled and great that gave me a lot many significant and valued teachings. I got the much needed guidance, support, love and appreciations from them which I will value for my lifetime.

However, I have always been at my best in handwork, it is a God gifted talent that I possess. Somewhere inside from the bottom of my heart I was able to hear a constant call of my brushes, paints, palette, and papers and canvas asking me to come back to my handwork. In the rush this was missing from my life. Here I would take immense pleasure to tell you that the very first person to identify, recognize and encourage my talent, even before I could understand myself, was no one other than my loving father, who is also an artist by hobby. I have inherited art from him. What all I have achieved till date, its just because of unconditional support, love and prayers of my awesome family.

Along with being a nature and animal lover I believe in 3 ‘Ps’ – ‘Peace, Passion and Perfection’. I love doing detailing work, which reflects in my art. I like to talk less and let my work speak out for me. Paintings, for me, are meditation and stress relieving therapy. And being an Illustrator and Graphic Designer too, I enjoy doing Illustrations and designing for children’s story books, comics or commercial story boards, and logos or door signs and ads for commercial purposes.

I wish my viewers take scenic and beautiful experience and memories from my artworks.
