Founder and Creative Head
Apoorva completed her schooling from Sardar Patel Vidyalaya and went on to do her Bachelors and Masters in Visual Arts, painting, from MS University and Delhi University subsequently; her creative pursuits actually began when she was toddler. Her parents fondly recall how she started playing around with colors and painting before she even started walking, when she was just 7 months old. This can be attributed to the creative atmosphere of the house and her exposure to field ever since she was born, as her father was one of the most prominent national award winning artists and the Vice Chairman of Lalit Kala Academy; and mother was a designer and an Art consultant/owner of one of the prime Art Galleries located in New Delhi, the culture capital of India. Hence, it was no surprise when she decided to professionally pursue the same, expressing herself through painting and art writing. She was awarded the HRD scholarship by the cultural Ministry and the Government of India for excellence in her field for a time period of two years. Further she got the opportunity to be a part of many National Camps by the Lalit Kala Academy. Wanting to push the envelope further, she dabbled into design with a few logos and interior projects. Being a people’s person and with the heart of working in the education domain, she took up the job at NIFT, Delhi as a visiting faculty and a jury member, where she enjoyed interacting with some extremely bright minds and helped them tap into their creative potential. Apoorva believes that life is about growing and learning every day, in which her spiritual journey, practice and training of Buddhism has played a major role. She also feels that along with the satiating mind, travel exposes one to different cultures, people, visual and cerebral experiences that compare to none other.
