About Me:
"I am honoured to be born into a multi-generational Indian military family. My early formative years were spent in remote parts of India, where the values of tradition, discipline, respect, and a lifelong commitment to serving the nation profoundly shaped my personality and instilled in me a strong sense of purpose.
While living with my family, we often travelled to destinations rich in diverse flora and fauna. Over the years, I developed a deep personal connection to the people and environments around me. I was fortunate to experience the beauty of pristine forests, vibrant wildlife, ancient temples, and palaces steeped in history, culture, and architecture—untouched by the rampant urbanisation that plagues so many areas today.
However, returning to these places as I grew older, I was struck by the devastation of the once-pristine environments. Witnessing this destruction as a child filled me with a sense of helplessness and dismay—a feeling that lingers to this day. This sense of loss and the realisation that we are responsible for this degradation inspired me to create art that addresses these issues, hoping to evoke urgency and awareness in others."
Why Do I Create Art?
"By sharing my artistic visions and creations, I aim to spark meaningful conversations about the impact of human actions on the future of our planet, Earth. My works are not merely artistic expressions; they are heartfelt pleas for change, urging us to confront the consequences of our actions before it is too late.
I encourage everyone to contribute to sustainability and foster a symbiotic relationship with Earth and its inhabitants. Our planet is a masterpiece of nature, and it is our shared responsibility to preserve its beauty and diversity.
Join me in this collective effort. Please follow me and share my work. Together, let's raise awareness and inspire change."
About My Artistic Creations:
"Some of my artworks, painstakingly completed over the years, feature vivid colours, intricate patterns, powerful symbols, and impactful wording. The juxtaposition of biohazard and contamination symbols with organic patterns creates a sense of urgency and alarm, invoking strong emotional responses in the viewer, just as I intended.
My art is not created solely for aesthetic purposes but to serve a larger mission: to generate awareness of how unchecked human greed affects all life on Earth, including the planet itself.
I invite you to explore my art, join the conversation, and consider how your actions, such as reducing your carbon footprint or supporting environmental and educational initiatives, can make a difference.
Earth is dying, and time is running out. We must act now before it is too late." — Shibanie Rose.
