Through your art, let faces become mirrors of humanity reflections of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we are becoming. Submit your work…

Rajul talks about the things that keep her grounded: her favourite brushes, the books and notes stacked by the window, and the quiet rhythm of working on several pieces at once. There’s the scent of paint in the air, a little mess, and a lot of heart. It’s less about perfection and more about presence, a glimpse into how she turns everyday moments…
