Yash Nagaraj
I am from Bangalore, the garden city of India. I was born here in the month of February, 1969. Being the oldest of three brothers, I found myself involved in many extracurricular activities and my artistic ability seemed to evolve as years went by. The art class being my favourite at school, I used to excel in freehand sketching and painting.
In my early teens, with the guidance of my art teacher I went on to acquiring some creative techniques and skills but couldn’t agree more on what we call the inborn talent. Painting has always been one of my deepest passions. I feel immensely fortunate to express my thoughts on an empty canvas, giving color, form and bringing to life beautiful pieces of art.
My works have been showcased in some exhibitions in Bangalore. I have sold most of my paintings to many art lovers. Most of my works are portraits, landscapes and seascapes. Throughout these years I have concentrated more towards realism than abstract. I have also reproduced many artworks by Joshua Reynolds, El Greco, Homer, Picasso and many more.
It is now that I have developed a keen interest in Abstract art and am eager to start painting a series on the same.
Academically, I graduated from Bangalore University with a degree in Commerce and went on to pursue a course in Interior Design to become a self employed Interior designer. With 15 years of experience and designing furniture and layouts for over 100 residences in Bangalore I have moved on to settle down in a new country. I moved with my family to this beautiful city of Vancouver in 2007.
Not merely satisfied with my academic accomplishments I went on to upgrade myself with a diploma in Interior design from La Salle College of Design, Vancouver in 2008. Currently I am involved in becoming a lighting specialist while working at a lighting store as design specialist.
