If Overthinking Has Ever Stopped You From Admiring Life, This Art Is For You

It is a wonderful thing to be self-aware, to have an understanding of who we are and what we believe in. But sometimes, as we lose ourselves in an analysis of our every word and action, it becomes hard to tell where our thoughts of self-awareness devolve into self-criticism. And self-criticism is one hell of a slippery slope.

And that led her to create the project 100daysofoverthinking, whereby she…Continue Reading

25 Important Sketches That Reveal The Real, Untold Truths Of Mental Health

When it comes to mental health, we all like to believe we are a truly compassionate bunch, ready to accept, understand and embrace the strange workings of our mind.

And while social stigma has a huge role to play in these dismal figures, what keeps people from…Continue Reading

This FilterCopy Artist Creates The Cutest, Quirkiest Art On The Block!

For a long time, artists strived to create art that could resemble the things they could see in real life, in as much detail as possible. That, was considered true art. But then, what of our dreams?

And if translating it into canvas isn’t the most exciting idea there is, I don’t know what is. FilterCopy’s in-house design talent, Shreya Sethi, is an artist who swears by this idea.

This Artist Illustrates The Goddess In Every Woman, And It Is SO Empowering

It somehow falls in the fate of every woman to grow up being instructed by the world around her. Instructed, in little sinister ways, to be quieter, smaller, weaker than she is. But the modern woman is in no mood to listen. Artist Sam Madhu and her stunning pieces of work are the embodiment of that sentiment. In her art, the real, raw goddess, untouched by the conventions of society, is revealed. In her art, the modern woman is everything she wants to be – bold, potent and powerful.

16 Empowering & Colourful Body Images Every Woman NEEDS To See

We live in a world full of ideas of ‘beautiful’. Where we’re expected to be unwrinkled, unstained…perfect. Where stretch-marks, a natural result of growing older and into your own skin are frowned upon. Where we’re expected to be ashamed of our period, something so natural it occurs once a month.

The Insta-artist is just like any other 20-something apart from the fact that she’s created art out of what most…Continue Reading

So recently, I’ve been lucky enough to come across a LOT of amazing artists – courtesy the Uncover project. And most recently, I was introduced to the stunning art of Anjali Mehta. Now, what made Anjali’s work stand out for me was the fact that it’s basically, well, everything I’ve ever felt. Her illustrations are brave, bright, and honest. I suppose that’s because she takes so much inspiration from the world around her…and from the words around her. “Lately, I’ve been inspired by life and human emotions in general. How we as human beings interact with life at different stages,…Continue Reading

I stumbled upon an Instagram account this weekend and let me tell you, it was within the first 30 seconds that I followed the artist.
