Arun Kumar - House Of Creativity

Arun Kumar

My name is Arun Kumar and I am from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. I started art as a hobby during my childhood days and as I grew, my interest in art grew as well, finally taking shape of a career. I'm self taught for the most part, but I had the priviledge of getting guidance from some amazing artists for short periods of time.

I mainly work in hyperrealism genre of art because it appeals to me, especially the time and discipline it takes to create it, also the technical know how is quite important when it comes to this style. Starting from very humble beginnings, I want to remain true to my artistic vision, attempting to create artworks that mimic life to the highest level possible.

Being a nature lover, I frequently incorporate natural forms into my portraits, in an attempt to alleviate the visual as well as philosophical depth.

The primary medium for my artistic practice is charcoal and colored pencils although I always keep experimenting with different media like oils and acrylics as well.

Through my art, I invite viewers to pause, and immerse themselves in the intricate details of my subjects, and rediscover beauty that surrounds us in the simplest of forms.

The subjects of my drawings emerge from personal experiences, mainly focusing on the struggles of humankind, as well as the fragility of life and how important it is to cherish every moment.

During the seven years of my art career, I'm glad to have made atleast 100+ commissioned artworks, selling quite a few originals, and teaching 100+ students.
