SKAN believes that art is the innate nature of humans.
It is one of the most natural ways of communication.
Everyone drew as a kid. As the kid grows, he or she develops other interests
and drawing takes a back seat.
SKAN continued with his interest in the drawing. The reason could be that
there was inspiration right at home. His father was an accomplished artist too. SKAN learnt
drawing and water color painting from his father for many years.
SKAN started painting in oils while pursuing his studies in engineering. Soon
he was winning medals and exhibiting.
SKAN has studied art from very prominent artists after coming to USA.
