Here is a glimpse into how I traded the dental clinic for a life full of color and art. ## Photos and videos - [Video: I put together this reel to share my journey of becoming a full-time artist after being a dentist. It wasn't easy, but following my passion has been the most rewarding experience. This is for anyone thinking about taking that leap.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a64366aa-f7c2-4ace-a2eb-e4eefc0c1495) ## About My Story: Dentist to Artist Most people see the final painted sneaker or mural and assume it came easily. The reality is hours of prep work, trial and error, and plenty of failed attempts before getting the paint consistency just right. Whether I am working on a custom streetwear piece or setting up for a brand event, that same patient process is what ensures the art actually lasts. ### The Transition Leaving dentistry for a studio in Mumbai was not an overnight success story. It started with a lot of self-doubt and late nights wondering if I was doing the right thing. But the moment I realized art is not just about a pretty result, but the therapy of the process, things clicked. Now, I run workshops where the goal is not perfection, but having fun with colors and textures. ### My Approach to Art Whether it is sneaker customization, mural painting, or teaching a workshop for a corporate team, my approach remains grounded in simplicity. I use professional-grade supplies like Angelus paints and sealers because I want your sneakers to survive Mumbai weather and daily wear. ### Why I Do What I Do I believe art should be accessible. You do not need an art degree to pick up a brush or customize your own tote bag. My workshops are designed to be creative jams where the environment is relaxed. If you are looking for someone to bring a bit of energy to your event or help you unlock your own creativity in a workshop, I am ready to collaborate. ## About The Mood Box I am Amolika, and I run The Mood Box.
