Born
in 1984, New Delhi, India where he currently resides, Pushkar
Thakur has been dabbling with computers and art since the age
of four, a time when computers were not what they have become,
when even colour monitors were rare. His education took an obvious
path towards software engineering but was soon kicked aside
and instead he began to explore his interest and passion for
art and graphic design.
He conceived and began, The Grafiosi (2004), now an international
award winning graphic design studio that concentrates on aesthetically
enriched and client proficient visual solutions. Having received
no formal training in the field of art or design he rigorously
trained himself and continues to do so through books, journals,
interactive dialogue, the Internet and most importantly everyday
experience.
Now 24, Pushkar started working professionally at the age
of 17, albeit with freelance assignments. His art continues
to evolve over time and has been showcased at select exhibitions
in and outside New Delhi. Digital Art as a medium is still
a new concept within India and the contemporary idiom is developing
thus commercial progress is slow and his design studio supports
the high financial aspects involved with it. His artwork has
however begun to be noticed and is now on its way to create
a mark within this medium. A break away from the mundane his
artwork continues to delve into his imagination, emotion and
thought, intermeshing his varied interests in art, photography,
technology, literature, music and travel.
