“Be somebody nobody thought you could be,” says Gunjan Daga
The quote that has stuck in Gunjan’s mind and pushed her to pursue the field of art despite being a commerce graduate. One might consider her lack of attending any formal art school as her deficiency; however, she feels that this is what has helped her to grow in an unconditional manner.
“I am drawn to the beauty in the little things around me. They are the things that inspire me every day to portray their simple beauty in my art. I have always had an artistic flair since I was a child,” says Gunjan.
Art was something that came naturally to her and it was an outlet that gave her the space to express herself. No matter what she has been doing, somehow, she always found time to draw.
Her interest and dedication have pushed her to work towards specializing in portraits and realistic sketches using charcoal as a medium. Gunjan Daga has honed her skills by sketching her friends and family (including her dog!) She has a keen interest towards detailing and she makes sure that this is what catches the eyes of her onlooker.
Gunjan says, My mantra is simple: “Only an undying passion and dedication can take you places!”
