Artwork by Aditya

My name is Aditya Aryan. I am a fine artist, writer, and explorer. But at the center of everything that I pursue, art is the pulse of my life. It is the one place where I see truth, beauty, and liberation, and where I am able to say things that words usually fail to express.

Finding My Voice Through Art

Artwork by Tayabah Hana

My name is Tayabah Hana, and I am an aspiring artist who mainly works in drawing and watercolour painting. For me, art is a way to process emotions and experiences that I sometimes can’t express in words. When I draw or paint, I feel connected to something bigger—a sense of possibility and discovery.
