About me
Artist.
Art Director.
Advertising Specialist.
Branding Expert.
In a career that spans over 30 years, I have had my run in almost all forms of art. First as an artist, then as an art director with agencies, then leading teams creating advertising that sells, and then as an advertising consultant to product and brands.
Art has satisfied me as a painter. It has given a language to my ideas. Made hundreds of thoughts come to life. Won me accolades and awards. And not surprisingly it is an art that colors every canvas I paint.
I owe this first to the place that taught me the tricks of the trade – Kerala School of arts, then to the agencies that have nurtured me and brands that have trusted me. For over a decade Ogilvy was my playground. I got trained, trained many others. I started from scratch and finished at the Lurzers’ Archive showcase, national and international awards for Titan & IBM. TBWA was my stadium. The music I created with V-Guard and Tata Gold Plus went platinum.
Al-Reyami was a niche I carved for conglomerates to push their creative limits.
The journey on the canvas continues still continues. Sometimes it’s a logo and sometimes a TVC, art hasn’t changed, it’s only the art form.
