PROFESSIONAL LIFE:
Hari Krishna was creative from a very young age. Hari Krishna believed his destiny was connected to the art world since he was a child, and he explored sketching, painting, and canvassing. He believes that the cosmos is composed of microparticles such as sand, and hence that there is no greater natural medium for crafting anything beautiful and creative than sand.
“He was intrigued by sand as a youngster and used to make the images on it. This captivated him, and he eventually began sketching after discovering that everything is changeable and transitory.”
From the beginning, he was completely in love with art, the one thing he felt he was born to do. Finally, he decided to follow his passion and pursued sand painting as a full-time profession.
“At its essence, art is about conveying information in innovative and compelling ways. The artist conveys his message to his audience through his creative vision and one-of-a-kind medium.
Hari Krishna thinks that art communicates with humans on an emotional level and that using visual arts to amuse, educate, or convince is natural. However, doing it in an original and memorable manner is critical for capturing people’s attention.
Indeed, a medium as uncommon as sand and light offers a message that is sure to be remembered. Utilizing such a fantastic medium with the ability, freshness, and innovation shown by Hari Krishna ensures that the audience will enjoy the presentation and be inspired by the message.
