It follows a four-part cycle I call my anchor: inhalation of the local culture, assimilation of the human spirit, digestion through deep reflection, and the final exhalation of art onto the wall. This allows me to create pieces that feel like they belong to the space, rather than just being placed there. ### My Evolution as an Artist I was once told that nothing would come of me. Leaving behind the comfort of a steady job to pursue art was the hardest, yet most liberating decision of my life. My first NGO mural in 2018 was the turning point. It taught me that art is not just about aesthetics; it is a tool for connection. ### The Travel and Paint India Tour Today, my studio is the vast landscape of India. My 'Travel and Paint' initiative is about more than just commissions. I travel to collaborate with NGOs and local businesses, creating street art that honors the local heroes and the unique spirit of the place. Whether I am painting a portrait of a fisherwoman in Fort Kochi or a mystical forest in a home in Mumbai, my goal remains the same: to tell a story that resonates. ### Beyond the Wall: AR and Innovation I believe in bridging the gap between tradition and the future. Being the first Indian artist to showcase AR and NFT paintings in a physical gallery was a milestone, but it is just one layer of my work. I use high-quality acrylics for longevity, but I also integrate digital layers to ensure the art interacts with the viewer. My work has been featured in The Indian Express and recognized on the TEDx stage, but for me, the real validation comes from the people who walk past a wall and stop to smile or feel something. Whether you need a sacred mandir mural, a high-impact commercial piece, or an AR-enabled experience, I am here to help you turn your wall into a storyteller. ## About Sneha Chakraborty Hi, I'm Sneha. I left the corporate world to chase stories on walls, and today I work across India as a muralist. My art is driven by the people I meet and the cultures I explore. Let's create something real together.
