Hello, I'm Shanan Subhan, an Artist currently residing in Bangalore. I am a software engineer turned Artist.

Nature/landscapes are among my favorite subjects to paint. I thank nature and great photographs for inspiring and challenging me.

I started coloring at an early age, even before school taught me to read and write. Unaware of art and the theory of colors, I loved scribbling on papers, books, and walls! All I felt was colorful walls are merrier than monotonous ones. 

Although I loved painting and coloring, because of studies and the competitiveness of day-to-day life, I somehow got disconnected from art a few years ago, but I always felt that emptiness in life. Back in the end of 2017, I felt the need to fill this gap so I gifted myself a basic watercolor set and I started painting again and from then on I haven't stopped thinking about art. Initially, I failed to get the desired results, and the thought of making bad art frustrated me but I did not lose hope, I kept trying and got better at it with practice and determination.

 I have tried several mediums of paintings; I use Watercolors Gouache and Acrylic mostly but watercolor has my heart because of its challenging yet satisfying characteristics. With watercolors, one needs to be willing to go with the flow and let the brushes do the talking.

If you want to know more about me or my journey or if you have any doubts regarding art you can reach out to me on Instagram - @whatacurls or mail me on whatacurls@gmail.com.

Yours,

Shanan
