"The journey of an artist is no easy feat. It requires not only months to create a masterpiece but also the patience to paint happiness onto my soul."
Varsha Raghavendra

Hi there!

"Amidst the canvas of life, we are the artists of our own stories, painting each day with the hues of our dreams and the brushstrokes of our passions."

I’m a Software Engineer from Mysuru. Despite my professional background, my enduring passion for art has also been a significant part of my journey. I am proud to hold several certificates in this creative discipline.

My fascination with art deepened when I was introduced to the world of traditional painting. Under the guidance of Ramashivkumar sir, a distinguished senior artist, I underwent training that left me utterly astonished. His expertise and mentorship have been instrumental in shaping my artistic prowess.

Varsha is truly exceptional at her work. Recently got a painting done of Sri Rama, initially we were not sure how it would turn out but when we saw the work we were so pleased. Keep up the great work Varsha and thank you
It was an incredible experience learning Mysore painting from an artist like Varsha. I was overwhelmed by the videos and documents shared on internet trying to do by myself but She made learning so much fun teaching easy methods and approaches to get the right details in our paintings. She has a good knowledge and experience with Mysore paintings and anybody interested to learn - Varsha would be the right person to learn from!
I am clinical researcher. I have always loved experimenting with different media and styles of art. Being a mysorean I always wanted to learn this Mysore style painting.. enjoyed every bit of the process, the uniqueness it holds. The fusion of vibrant pigments and meticulous detailing is a true testament to the region's rich cultural heritage. As I delicately blend my scientific curiosity with artistic expression, I uncover a harmonious synergy that fuels my passion for both disciplines.
