My Inspiration
“Peace” so un-materialistic in nature but every living being strives to achieve it, in one or other form, I always had a craze to do things differently and this inspired my interest in Mandala Arts.
Around Five years of experience and completing a course in Fine Arts BFA from Bharati Kala Kendra, Lucknow in the year 2015, there is no looking back, today I have three hundred creations to my credit and have rich expertise in Conceptual mandala arts. All my creation are hand drawn, hand painted and mostly pen, pencil and canvas works, with some monochromatic Mandalas in the same series with water colour and pen.
How best to share my Knowledge ?
A deep determination and quest to share my Knowledge is the out come of Varaaz Arts, a digital medium to help me connect with the outside world, a platform to share my unique style and understanding on Conceptual Mandal art, with other art aspirants to seek & look into Deeper perspective of Conceptual Mandala arts.
“Varaaz Arts” it is a combination of first two letters from my name and “Raaz” a Hindi word meaning secrets. There are hidden secrets in all my art work.

My Role as an Art Therpaist:
As an art therapist, it is my wish, to make it very simple for common person to understand, at many times we come across many instances where knowing & unknowingly we accumulate a lot of thoughts & emotions in our mind & heart, which at a stage evokes a feeling of Anxiety, Fear & Anger which in turn makes us restless and depressed with many unclear answers, a point comes when it burst and you look into some specific medium to let go.
This kind of art therapy is best when it is on one to one session, keeping in mind that the need and requirement of every individual is different, the basic training can be taken in a group, but when we move to the next level of Conceptual Mandala art it is good to be on a one to one session to help you bring out your emotions through Conceptual Mandala art.
So the very big question is how my art work with the help of Conceptual Mandal art can help you, In simple words I will help you to bring out your emotions on a piece of square paper by making you concentrate in a circle and let you explore your inner conciseness and bring out your emotions in any shape, colour and dimension inside the circle. It can be anger, concern, desire, sorrow, grief, love, joy, passion, pride, agitation, inspiration but your own emotion is what you can see in your own Conceptual Mandala art uniquely your’s. This art is also a great tool for meditation and knowing your self and creating self awareness.
