Behind the Canvas

Ayush at work

Early Beginnings

Hello! I'm Ayush, the creative force behind The Arts Diary, a brand dedicated to bringing the beauty of realistic and hyper-realistic graphite and charcoal works, as well as digital illustrations, to life. My journey with art started as a curious kid, and over the past eight years, it's grown into a professional pursuit that has been my full-time focus for the last four years.

Art has always been my escape and my joy. As I grew up, I found myself increasingly fascinated by the artistic expressions I encountered on social media. Mimicking the styles of artists I admired, I honed various techniques, gradually developing my own unique approach to art.

University and The Fine Arts Club

My university years were a pivotal time for me. Joining The Fine Arts Club VIT, I connected with a vibrant community of like-minded artists. Together, we explored diverse forms of art, from sketches and paintings to 3D installations and murals, contributing to campus festivals and participating in competitions nationwide. As the lead charcoal artist and eventually the club head, I had the privilege of guiding many of these creative endeavors.

Professional Pursuits

Now, through The Arts Diary, I've had the pleasure of working with clients both within my country and internationally. My portfolio includes customized artworks for home decor, gifts, large murals, digital designs, brand illustrations, and more. Each piece is crafted with meticulous detail and a personal touch, tailored to meet modern needs.

"Ayush's approach to art is not just professional but deeply personal, making every piece tell a story."

Sharing My Passion

Beyond creating art, I also love sharing my skills and knowledge through workshops. I offer sketching classes for artists of all levels, from beginners to advanced, both virtually and in-person. To date, I've conducted multiple workshops, helping budding artists refine their techniques and discover their unique artistic voice.

A Fun Fact

I'm deeply intrigued by portraits. Walking down the street, I often find myself observing people's facial structures, imagining how they'd look as a portrait work. This curiosity fuels my passion and inspires my art every day.

Thank you for visiting The Arts Diary and taking the time to learn about my artistic journey. I look forward to the opportunity to create something special for you! 🎨✨
