I'm Saajan. A fine artist, illustrator and art director who has spent more than 15 years turning ideas, observations and emotions into visual work.
Somewhere along the way, drawing stopped being something I simply enjoyed and became the way I understood the world.
The curiosity stayed. The medium changed. The work evolved. But the need to create never really went away.
I started drawing when I was around nine or ten. At that age, I wasn't thinking about careers, clients or whether art could become a profession. I just wanted to draw.
That curiosity eventually led me into formal fine-art training and then into advertising, where visualisation, illustration and art direction became part of my everyday life.
Over the years, I learned that making something look good is only one part of the job. You also have to understand people, ideas, emotions and the reason something needs to exist in the first place.
Drawing becomes something I return to constantly. Curiosity slowly turns into discipline.
Formal art training gives me the foundation. Advertising gives me a place to apply it.
Visualisation, illustration, art direction, campaigns and years of learning how ideas become communication.
Digital painting becomes a major part of my practice. The tools change, but the fundamentals remain.
Art, illustration, mentoring and creative work come together under one place.
My foundation comes from traditional art. I was trained around drawing, form, proportion, light, composition and the discipline of physical painting.
Today, I work primarily in the digital medium using an iPad and Procreate. It gives me a different set of tools and possibilities, but the thinking behind the work remains rooted in the same fundamentals.
Digital doesn't mean less craftsmanship. It simply means I found a medium that allows me to work in the way I want to work today.
A big part of what I do today is help other artists shorten that journey.
I've spent years learning through observation, mistakes, experimentation and doing the work. Teaching allows me to turn some of that experience into a clearer path for someone else.
Whether it's an artwork, a creative project, a collaboration or simply an idea you can't stop thinking about, tell me what you're working on.
