it better each time. My habit of reading also helped me lot as I read good
books about calligraphy suggested by my teachers to widen the horizon of my
knowledge. During my initial years of learning of calligraphy I also met
national and international practicing calligraphers and gathered learnings from
their experiences. There is no formal education in the field of calligraphy so
I have to find my own ways to learn about this art which I am very much
passionate about. I regularly visit art galleries and attend lectures as well
as seminars by great artist to know more about art field in general. I had
taken a very unconventional route to learn about calligraphy which proved very
satisfying for me. For me calligraphy is like a meditation. It is a complete
involvement and coordination of mind, eye and hand in a natural harmony. When I
work I even forget about the sense of place and time. Calligraphy rejuvenates
me when I feel little low from daily routine.
How was
your journey in the initial years of your career?
When I was
learning the basics of calligraphy I kept thinking about my mother tongue which
is Gujarati. Lot of questions kept coming to my mind about the script and its
formal constructions. There was har Read More

easy to do these days that we don't really need calligraphy, but for him being
a calligrapher calligraphy gives an artist the freedom to experiment with art
style. What People miss on is the thin line between typography and calligraphy. Typography was invented solely for readers where as
calligraphy gives a person the satisfaction of writing beautifully.
While talking about scripts experienced observed says every
script changes after a time period. In context to India devnagri has been
changed over the centuries, devnagri has been modified 20 times in 3000 years. The
habit and practice is reciprocal people practice what they're habitual of,
calligraphers try something new and change their habit to an extent. When asked
about standardisation in calligraphy he says one can not say there is no
standardisation, the moment we started writing writing standardisation came
into existence otherwise any picture would've not been converted into a sign
and then into letterform.

ART BY STROKE
When we think of art, mesmerising
paintings and legendary artist come to our mind. The world of art has produced
many master pieces, but a few humble creators, have brought art to the world by
single stroke of a brush. Such creation is known as ‘Miniature art’, in India
‘Pala’ school of art is most famous for it, from Buddhist paintings to stories
of Jainism, to Ramayana and Mahabharata, all are covered in Miniature art,
throughout India.
The Rajas of Rajasthan, Muslim kings
of the Deccan and Malwa, all have contributed in keeping the art alive
throughout the ages. The Pala School of paintings finds its origin back to the
7th century AD, marking it as one of Indians artistic
traditions.
The Pala School brings the stories
from Buddhist text and scriptures and are mostly found in the eastern part of
India. The delicate use of bright colours and graceful strokes of thin lines
were the highlights of Pala, the methods of these paintings were taught in
famous Buddhist monasteries such as ‘Nalanda’.
While the rise of Buddhism dominated
the miniature art in the east, Jainism and its stories prevailed in the western
regions of India. The d Read More

KAAK is the ....... n for politics
as a common citizen was unique and a bold step.
Trained
as a mechanical engineer his lines took a drift toward cartoons and characters.
Earlier being an artist who scribbles and makes cartoons wasn't considered a
decent job. He worked as a mechanical engineer for 2 decades but never gave up
on his enthusiasm for cartooning and ended up marrying his pen and characters.
Even
after being awarded many times and having the limelight in his journey, he
denied the luxury. He says if he had all that in his life earlier he wouldn't
have been able to design the characters for which he is being awarded. When
asked about his character designing and the process behind his compositions
Kaak said - one needs to see everything around them as a character, building an
atmosphere and recognising are three milestones of the end product. Being a
cartoonist brings you responsibilities as one is supposed to be very cautious
when working with political scenarios or anything of public interest.
One
needs to devote their entire self when making characters because one will
always have an essence of his personality in his or her work.
When
asked about his characters the cartoonist says as he sai Read More
