Akash Raj Halankar is a visual artist and a graphic designer who likes to decode complex information and make it comprehensible and visually engaging. He ventured into the field of fine art at the young age of four and since then his rendezvous with strokes, colours and expression began.
A gold medalist graduate from Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai with a Masters in Graphic Design from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, Akash’s work tries to blur the line between art and design. He is a type enthusiast and an avid illustrator whose projects range from simple sketches to grand spatial art.
Girded with the love for observation and introspection, Akash dreams of painting mountains some day.
