KS GURUPRASAD
Artist & Designer
I am an artist hailing from Tamil Nadu, India. My journey as an artist and designer commenced after the successful completion of my academic pursuit, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication Design.
Born and raised amidst the verdant beauty of a small town, my formative years were shaped by the captivating embrace of nature's splendour. However, professional demands led me to transition to urban life, where I have resided for the past twenty-five years within the bustling metropolises of India.
This life trajectory serves as a profound wellspring of inspiration, profoundly influencing the essence of my artistic endeavours. My work adeptly captures these poignant and cherished moments, encapsulating their emotional resonance through the medium of visual expression. Often, words prove inadequate to translate the depth of my visual emotions, as my subconscious perpetually hungers for the symbiotic connection between nature and humanity.
For the past two decades, I have been fervently dedicated to my artistic practice. I have actively participated in numerous art-centric events and movements, contributing to the dynamic discourse within the artistic community. Concurrently, I have been engaged in the VFX industry, contributing my skills as a CG artist to a plethora of Indian and international cinematic productions.
