Sand Art by Manisha 3.49

Manisha Swarnkar, a former student of engineering, took the unprecedented path of stepping into the world of art after a flash of inspiration. Equipped with a basic skillset from her knowledge of traditional rangoli and endless determination, she set out to live her dreams. Years later, and after obtaining a distinguished degree of Master of Design from the prestigious Industrial Design Center (IDC) at IIT Bombay, she still carries the spirit of challenge and passion with which she set out.

At present, she is considered to be the first female Sand Artist from India and her achievements are plenty. She has received international recognition from her involvement in award winning music videos and her own independent Sand Art films won an international film award. She has been involved in various projects which help in spreading awareness of social problems. She was also bestowed the honour of talking for Tedx, so that she could inspire a new generation of artists to bring India to the forefront in the world of art.
