| Bio | Pravat Maharana (born 5 April 1988) is a traditional artist from Ganjam, Odisha, currently based in Bhubaneswar. He learned the art of traditional painting from his father and has been practicing for over 20 years. He studied at Ganodaya Vidyalaya and later at Ekamra College. His work is inspired by mythology, especially themes from Krishna Leela and the stories of Lord Ganesh. One of his most memorable creations is a large painting depicting a Ganesh story, measuring about 5 feet 3 inches. Sketching is his favorite part of the creative process, and he believes strong black lining and vibrant colors bring a painting to life. Pravat enjoys working close to nature and hopes to inspire and teach younger generations to appreciate and preserve traditional art. While he feels greater government support is needed for artists, he remains positive about the future of the art form. |
