1969

Overview

Arunanshu's early experiences in art making go back to his childhood spent with his grandmother making little sculptures with kneaded dough in the kitchen. His mother being an artist and an art teacher, it was common for him to paint for pleasure at home and enhance his skills as time went by. However, he never intended to take up art education, but it just happened. 

He came to Baroda Fine Arts from Patna, knowing that this was the place where he would be the closest to his dreams to pursue his passion in art as his full-time career. 

With time his works moved from traditional watercolors to bold strokes on large canvases using images from various sources. He continues to experiment with mixed media and sculptures and has created some works on very ambitious scales with subjects surrounding his city, current political environment and personal life.

The artist currently lives and works in Vadodara.
