My Journey as an Artist: Exhibitions, Rewards, and Cricket Moments
A look into the moments that shaped me, from exhibiting in my hometown of Jammu to meeting cricket legends and sharing my craft through my Delhi studio.
In my studio, where the magic happens. Turning my passion for art into my profession has been a dream come true, and this is the space where I create every day.
A quiet moment in my happy place, my art studio. This space is filled with my creations and is where I teach aspiring artists, sharing the joy of art with others.
I was thrilled to exhibit my art in my hometown of Jammu for the first time. The response was incredible, and it was a special experience to share my work at the historic Amar Mahal.

About My Journey as an Artist
When I am not sketching in my Delhi studio, I am often out meeting people who inspire my work, like when I exhibited at Jammu's historic Amar Mahal or shared a moment with cricket legends. These experiences do not just stay as memories, they fuel every piece I draw, adding that extra bit of soul to the portraits I create for you.
Art has been a journey, not a destination. From my early days in Jammu to establishing my own studio in Dashrath Puri, Delhi, every sketch and exhibition has been a step towards growth. I did not just want to draw, I wanted to create a space for others to learn and express themselves.
Whether I am judging competitions at colleges like Shaheed Bhagat Singh or gifting a portrait to a legend like Chris Gayle, these moments reinforce why I do what I do. It is never just about graphite on paper. It is about the emotion, the connection, and the story behind each portrait.
My studio is where this all comes together. If you are looking for custom art, I work with charcoal, graphite, and acrylics to bring your ideas to life. I do not believe in rushing the process. I take the time to get the details right, from skin textures to eye reflections, ensuring the final piece is something you are proud to display.
I also teach, helping others find their path in art. If you are a beginner or looking to refine your technique, come by the studio. Let’s discuss your vision and create something special.

I'm Shubham, and for me, art isn't just about the finished piece. It's about the connection. Whether I'm teaching in my Delhi studio or sketching a portrait, I bring the same energy that I've poured into my own journey as an artist.
