Gaurav Chandrakar

I am Gaurav Chandrakar, a dedicated Watercolor Artist based in India, known for creating artworks that highlight the transparency, subtle tones, and natural depth achieved through a refined balance of water and pigment. I have showcased my work at the National Online Art Exhibition 2022 and the Group Painting Exhibition Raipur 2022, and I have conducted live watercolor demonstrations at Sanskritik Bhavan Raipur and Nutan Kala Sangam Fine Art Institute. I am UGC-NET qualified and hold both BFA and MFA degrees from Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh. Along with watercolor, I am skilled in acrylic, oil, mixed media, portraiture, caricature, wall painting, photography, and digital art. I have received several recognitions including the Indian Art Contest Certificate 2022 and the Cartoon Festival Prize 2018, and have served as a judge at the District Youth Festival (2021–22). My artistic vision is to create watercolor artworks that capture the softness, fluidity, and emotional depth of light, making each painting a meaningful visual experience.
