Why this US Artist Moved to India to Pursue Art? | Stories That Matter

#storiesthatmatter #art #documentary
Drdha Vrata Gorrick is an artist born and raised in the US and trained in the traditional arts in South India, bringing the best of both worlds to his creative practice. His work infuses new life into devotional art by combining religious styles from different parts of India while staying within a Vedic tradition.
Drdha believes that the skills we receive are gifts from god and that we can use to elevate our consciousness. He strives to create art that surpasses the mundane and is aided by his extensive training in iconometry, iconography, traditional painting and architectural design, as well as skills in lost-wax casting and clay modeling. Drdha’s main source of inspiration is the timeless art and architecture that he experienced during his 15 years of travel and study in India. His commissions range from drawings, paintings and sculptures for homes and temples to managing temple construction projects.

A true artist. My respects to you.

I really admire his art and meticulous presentation. I had the privilege of learning from him in a workshop and he is like an ocean where you van keep learning. But the person who is narrating is not upto the mark, no voice articulation, he could have done a better job.
