Concept Line Art

Concept line art is a minimalist artistic technique that focuses on capturing the essence of a subject through simple, deliberate lines, often without the use of shading or color. Originating from various artistic traditions, including Japanese calligraphy and Western architectural sketching, this style strips away unnecessary details to reveal the fundamental form and energy of an object, person, or scene. Artists typically use continuous, fluid strokes to create images that are both economical and expressive, relying on the viewer's imagination to fill in the gaps. Contemporary concept line art has gained popularity in digital illustration, graphic design, and tattoo art, with practitioners using tools ranging from traditional pen and paper to digital drawing tablets. The style's appeal lies in its ability to communicate complex ideas with remarkable simplicity, making it an powerful method of visual communication that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Documentary Film: WAVES OF COMPASSION

  Laying down ones life for another has more meaning than just dying, it also means to understand, to show up, to stand with, and to reach out. Covid-19 put us in unprecedented times. Nobody had all the answers or supplies. With muster-seed faith they began with what they had, may be only a few loaves, but, what happened next is a miracle. Covid -19 WAVES OF COMPASSION is a documentary short film shot during the first wave of Covid-19 in India. Here I break down its process and narrative style. Watch the film here:  Waves of Compassion   In the thick of the first wave of covid-19 I was asked by the CRI, Bangalore, to make a documentary film on their involvement with the Pandemic emergency. It meant visiting six plus shelter camps, visiting food Kichens and distribution chains, from the heart of the city to the very end of the suburbs. It would also mean coming in direct contact with a lot of people. I agreed. I began with the first day, almost fully covered...

Logo Designs

Logo design is a remarkable form of visual storytelling that distills the entire essence of a brand into a single, memorable graphic symbol. More than just an aesthetic arrangement of shapes and colours, a great logo serves as the visual DNA of an organisation—communicating its values, personality, and unique identity in a fraction of a second.Skilled designers approach logo creation as an intricate art form, carefully balancing simplicity, typography, colour psychology, and graphic symbolism to craft images that can communicate volumes without uttering a single word. From the iconic swoosh of Nike to the minimalist apple of Apple Inc., these visual marks transcend mere corporate identification and become cultural symbols that resonate across global audiences. Here are a few logos I designed with its process and signified meaning. The Logo of St. Bonaventure Seminary , Peravoor, Kannur, Kerala. It has three layers.

Wildlife Photography

Wildlife photography is a profound art form that demands extraordinary technical skill, deep ecological understanding, and an almost spiritual connection with the natural world. These visual storytellers venture into remote landscapes, waiting for hours or even days to capture a single, transcendent moment that reveals the raw beauty, complexity, and vulnerability of Earth's diverse creatures. From the piercing gaze of a predator to the tender interaction between a mother and her offspring, these images serve as both artistic masterpieces and critical documents of our planet's biodiversity, inspiring conservation, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the extraordinary web of life that surrounds us.
