>>A Farmer’s Son Who Is Diving Beyond Shores:

Model School and graduated from the GITAM School of Architecture in 2019. my father is Suribabu and mother is

>>Muse Grabbed From The Most Unanticipated Place:
One day, I had gone for a casual visit to Etikoppaka artists very close to his house. Etikoppaka craft that blends a
variety of colors on wood gave his art-loving heart, the wings of excitement. My curious eyes pondered over every
piece and this enthusiastic painter was jaw-dropped at the sight of the unique craft.I showered questions and the
answers from the artists taught him a valuable lesson – “With art, there are no rules, no combinations and one is
free to do what one likes to.” After this, I has never looked back and there was no second thought in pursuing art. I
decided to create his world out of what he loved. I created a miniature of Lord Ganesha out of glass bangles when I
was just 14 years old awed his parents who caught My hands-on at art and started encouraging him.
“My parents offered their complete support and pushed me to take this hobby seriously. Even after eight years
now, I continue to get support from my parents.
>>Bone-breaking Comments Only Made me Stronger:
Though My parents rendered my complete support, I had to suffer critical comments from his other family
members. In a country where Doctors and Engineers,C.As and Lawyers are the most honored professionals, the
idea of becoming an artist didn’t taste good to my relatives and they opined that his dedication towards art is
purely a waste of time and effort. With an argument showcasing how pointless taking up art as a career choice can
be, they have questioned the choice of Venkatesh and his parents. But, none of this stopped me from doing what
he loved. I sharpened his skills and got better each day. My parents also continued extending their support and the
result- i turned into a mountain of triumph. Flowing with the waters of art, I did not put his academics aside. I was
pursued graduation in B.Arch from Gitam School Of Architecture and went on to secure a doctorate in Arts and
Crafts from Peace University, Germany. During this period, I still crafted 500 masterpieces and 100 + awards and
records
