Description
In the foreground, intricately detailed leaves take center stage. Each leaf is meticulously rendered with shades of green, ranging from deep emerald to delicate mint, capturing the varied textures and patterns found in nature. The leaves seem to dance across the canvas, their shapes organic and flowing, as if stirred by a gentle breeze.
The title, “Leafy Tales,” suggests a narrative within the artwork—an unfolding story of nature’s beauty and tranquility. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the peaceful serenity of a garden setting, where every leaf and petal tells a silent tale of growth, renewal, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
Pranav, our little artist is 11 years old and he loves to play with colours in unconventional ways. He finds brush boring and enjoys playing with his fingers , paper, leaves , knives, sponge and everyday things.
More about pranav

But that did not stop them they worked hard to understand all the different ways to educate pranav and help him cope with his slower learning rate but like a shimmer of hope at the end of a tunnel.
Pranavs journey
When Pranav was 6 years , during his occupational therapy (OT) classes, a new art educator- Rahul sir conducted a trial painting session. Pranav’s family was a little sceptic and weren’t sure if it would be of any benefit, as kids his age use crayons and sketch pens. Pranav sat on artist chair and he was only supposed to play with water and colours .His parents were amazed to see how sir made Pranav splash water and pour colors and something magical was created .This trial class was a new found joy for him. Few sessions with Pranav’s sir and his family could see the progress. Pranav’s family could see how his eyes would always light up at the sight of colours. This gave them encouragement and set the seed for what Pranav is today.
Covid time was a big help. Earlier he could do painting only during painting classes but during covid, he was able to do it everyday. So thank you to YOU TUBE n PINTEREST where Pranav and his mother would together watch lots of videos and experiment various ideas. This added fun to what he was already doing and this meant that everyday he could try new ideas. Pranav has participated in many National and 1 International Art Exhibition. His art has been featured on multiple platforms . He was the youngest artist at DEEP DOWN ARTS EXHIBITION , MEXICO. Pranav has also done 3 solo exhibitions at prestigious locations. Pranav’s paintings are full of life and ooze a sense of positivity and optimism. He is currently in an inclusive school setup. You can follow is art journey.
