When did you find your calling in art?
Art has been a part of my upbringing; I have grown up studying art and design, admiring my late grandfather, Jehangir Vazifdar who was an illustrious architect and an astonishing artist. He gifted me the technique of oil painting. In his memory, we launched a lovely coffee table book and hosted an art exhibit of his works in December 2015 in Mumbai. This made me stop and think that I must do something to carry on his legacy. In 2016, I made a special butterfly artwork with the children of The Gateway School in Mumbai that garnered immense praise. Doing the illustrations for a book written by my daughter, called, The Adventures of Harvey Mouse was yet another stepping stone for me in this field. Some of my exhibitions of note include, Khushi - India On Canvas in conjunction with Sotheby’s, Delhi, 2017; India Art Story, Kolkata, 2017; What If You Fly, a solo exhibition at Vis A Vis Gallery, Delhi and Spazio Gallery, Pune, 2018, to name a few.
Was growing up between the UK and India instrumental in your inclination towards art?
