ARYAN ARORA
Hi. I'm Aryan Arora, a visual artist based in Singapore. I prefer to paint bare, real, natural and uninhibited human emotions which when looked at, make the spectator feel, empathetic with the characters in my art. In a world which is full of pretentious people, hiding their real self and walking around wearing masks which aren't visible to the naked human eye; I attempt to bring real emotions and characters who aren't shameful to be mortal and to possess emotions.

RAGHAV BABBAR
As an artist, Raghav Babbar paints his emotions towards things he sees around him. An autobiographical work from which he discovers himself as an artist and develops a deeper connection with his subjects around him and those in his life. Humans are what he finds to best express his feelings on the canvas, allowing him to observe moods and personalities better. The subjects’ actions within moments usually give him the purest display of emotion possible, especially when they are alone. Capturing them in these moments and relaying them to the canvas establishes a connection between the individual and the artist. To him, painting is a discipline where it is easy for him to show how well he knows his subjects.

DIVYAM RAGHUNATH
Originally from India, Divyam Raghunath is a fine artist based in Singapore, currently completing a BA in Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts. Using canvas as an aide-memoire, each colour and brushstroke has significant meaning to him personally and figuratively. Divyam's art practice is concerned with perception and identity both personal and cultural. Whether using traditional canvas, found objects or performance art highlighting the corporal, all gestures and movements are ripe for use in his work. Changing the perception about art is his driving force.
