Brahmakamal - The holy flower of Himalayas Print

Arvind Gairola is an Indian artist who was born in the small village – “Gairi” in the hills of Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand. He grew up surrounded by the beauty of nature and the majestic mountain ranges of the Himalayan region. From an early age, Arvind was passionate about art and he spent most of his childhood days practicing and learning different art techniques. Despite his love for art, Arvind chose to study science as a subject and graduated as a science student. He then pursued a career in the tourism industry and spent around 18 years working for some of the top tourism companies in the world, such as Kuoni Travel, SOTC Travel, and Thomas Cook Travel. However, despite his success in the tourism industry, Arvind began to feel unfulfilled and realized that he was getting caught up in the rat race of the world. He felt that he was not doing justice to his passion for art and that he needed to live his life in a more meaningful way. Arvind made the bold decision to quit his job and pursue his passion for art full-time. He has been living this way for around five years now and feels much more satisfied and happy than before. He believes that nature is the best inspiration for an artist and his artwork often reflects the beauty of nature. Arvind's art is not bound by any particular medium, technique or style, but he has a love for contemporary art that is clearly visible in his work. He enjoys experimenting with different mediums and techniques, and his recent artworks are with water colour on paper and Acrylics on canvas. Arvind's mantra for life is to "Live and let other live". He believes in living life on his own terms, pursuing his passions and finding fulfilment in the simple things around him.
