In the short years that I have known Arathi, I have observed her to be a serious student of calligraphy, pouring precious time, energy, attention and resources into honing her skills deepening her knowledge and cultivating her design sense.
There is much love that Arathi injects in her work: a joy in exploring colour and pattern, the weaving of both traditional and modern details in each piece, and above all, her works feel personable, like thoughtful gifts made by a (very skilled) close friend.-
I found Arathi on Instagram and I am glad I found an amazing, multi-talented person and artist like her. I feel the efforts put in by her by giving her heart and soul to each masterpiece she creates. I was and I am overwhelmed with it. The service that Arathi provides is mind blowing as it takes a lot of time and effort to do what she does
Thank you for the splendid work of art that you created for us. Being in a creative field myself I understand the precision and effort that goes into it. Thank you for getting my vision on paper and not to forget on time. It was a pleasure working with you. Hope to work on more projects in the future.
She is a warehouse of talent but what really speaks volumes for her is her art and her deep passion for artforms and the much-required discipline to create such wonders. Her work fills my heart with happiness and brings a smile to my face every time I see them.
