Mantasha, who lives in Gaziabad Green Valley Sunjwa of Jammu District is a student of class 10th has made hundreds of artworks and won recognition from critics and customers.
“I have been enthusiastic about painting and sketching since my childhood. I didn’t visit any art school for learning how to make artworks but have had been learning the skill on YouTube,” Mantasha told The Kashmiriyat.
“Whatever I see and feel, I try to portray it in my paintings, and above all, making art makes me happy, and gives me peace of mind and a sense of satisfaction,” she adds.
Mantasha says that she sells her artwork on Instagram and other social media platforms. “I post the photos of my artwork on social media and that is where most of my customers contact me. I want to learn and accomplish more in my life” she said.
Since childhood when I was in Class 2nd, I was inclined to art and whenever I used to see a painting or a design anywhere I used to get curious about “how blissful it would have been for the artist to make such a perfect and complete piece of art”, Mantasha told The Kashmiriyat. “Every artwork that I witnessed since childhood sublimely shaped me into an artist,” she said.
I watched a few videos on YouTube & Instagram and start painting at my home. I brought equipment and started my journey and have designed portraits and pictures, she stated.
She said,that art work has never affected her studies, rather it helps her to study well because whenever she feels bit stressed, she starts painting work and after spending half- an – hour with it, she feels relaxed.
