EYE-KSO FISH // PAINTPOWER 2.0
PAINTPOWER 2.0 was part of a program at ‘Winter at Srishti’ where a group of students
travelled to the new Srishti campus in The Kinfra Film and Video Park, Trivandrum.
Over a month we worked on several mural making projects within the campus that reflects
the space in and around the campus.This mural was completed in 10 days.
Both my parents come from the state of Kerala,though I have never stayed there I have always
stayed rooted to my culture and creating a visual that reflects the same came naturally.
I worked around how Srishti is bringing itself to Trivandrum, a tremendous energy
of technological knowledge and a modest approach to blend in with any space.
initial sketch of the mural. I planned to work with an isometric perspective, a personal challenge that i built for myself
Various sketches before hitting the wall.
Manually drawing out the Isometric grid and chalking out the sketch
first coat of paint.The biggest challenge was to not get confused by the change of angles of the image while painting.
It was a constant battle between what the image was and the illusion it would create.

The whole Paintpower experience has been completely amazing, to travel to another city
and be able to paint murals is a wonderful experience. I would like to thank my mentors Amitabh Kumar,
Jayesh Sivan and the fabulous Harshwardhan Kadam for pushing my skills to the max
and taking my image making ability to a whole new level.
THANK YOU
