My style is an\n\t\t\t\teclectic blend of semi-classical, impressionistic and surrealistic influences\n\t\t\t\t&mdash; breathing life into man-made and natural realms, and exposing the\n\t\t\t\tconnections running between them.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<p>My work has been shown in solo exhibitions in Nepal and across creative\n\t\t\t\tspaces in Texas, where it sparks emotion and prompts introspection. Rooted in\n\t\t\t\tsurrealism and impressionism, it explores spirituality, identity and the\n\t\t\t\tenvironment, and tries to hold the whole messy range of human experience.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<p>Beyond exhibitions I&rsquo;ve worked on collaborative murals and experimental\n\t\t\t\tinstallations. Come traverse the realm where art transcends boundaries and\n\t\t\t\tstarts conversations.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<dl class=\"studio-facts\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div><dt>Based in<\/dt><dd>McKinney, Texas<\/dd><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div><dt>Working in<\/dt><dd>Oil, acrylic, mixed media, murals<\/dd><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div><dt>Exhibited<\/dt><dd>Nepal &amp; Texas<\/dd><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div><dt>Available for<\/dt><dd>Commissions, murals, collaborations<\/dd><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/dl>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"studio-about-side\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"studio-portrait-frame\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"studio-portrait-glow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/artistutsav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_6977-min-562x1024.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"562\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"1024\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Self Portrait\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>Self Portrait<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"studio-quote\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t&ldquo;Each piece begins as a question and ends somewhere stranger\n\t\t\t\t\tthan expected.&rdquo;\n\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t<!-- ---------- contact ---------- -->\n\t<section class=\"studio-section studio-contact\" id=\"contact\">\n\t\t<div class=\"studio-contact-grid\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"studio-contact-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-eyebrow\">Get in touch<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"studio-h2\">Let&rsquo;s make<br>something.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-sub\">\n\t\t\t\t\tCommissions, murals, exhibitions, or just to say the work landed\n\t\t\t\t\tsomewhere \u2014 all of it is welcome.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"studio-contact-list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Email<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:artistutsav@gmail.com\">artistutsav@gmail.com<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Studio<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>McKinney, Texas<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Elsewhere<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"studio-social\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"studio-form-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<form class=\"studio-form\" method=\"post\"\n\t\t\t\t\taction=\"https:\/\/artistutsav.com\/wp-admin\/admin-post.php\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"artist_studio_contact\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"studio_nonce\" name=\"studio_nonce\" value=\"0bf7dd27c0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F401\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-hp\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label>Leave this empty\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"website\" tabindex=\"-1\" autocomplete=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"studio-field-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-field\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"studio_name\">Your name<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" id=\"studio_name\" name=\"studio_name\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trequired autocomplete=\"name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-field\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"studio_email\">Email<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"email\" id=\"studio_email\" name=\"studio_email\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trequired autocomplete=\"email\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-field\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"studio_subject\">Subject <span>(optional)<\/span><\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" id=\"studio_subject\" name=\"studio_subject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-field\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"studio_message\">Message<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<textarea id=\"studio_message\" name=\"studio_message\" rows=\"6\" required><\/textarea>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"studio-btn studio-btn-solid\" type=\"submit\">Send message<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"studio-form-note\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGoes straight to my inbox.
