Rupa Prakash, Bangalore Member Since August 2015 Artist Statement I am a self-taught artist.I trained myself so it is possible to do what I love. I didn’t get an opportunity to study art in college.I learned some basics in my high school art class.That is the only training I can say I’ve ever had.In the tenth grade,I won a state-wide art contest and never looked back. My influences are everything I see,feel and experience.
