I am an Industrial Designer with 2 years of experience in the Product Design industry, working with various companies in multiple countries.
I have been connected with Hobby Centre for Art since my childhood. Panchal Sir has helped me nurture my art skills and given me a lot of guidance in art as well as life learning. The atmosphere at HCA is very independent and free which helps a budding artist the freedom to explore genres and mediums which maintain a keen importance in the opening of various visual spectrums. HCA can be a boon for any person’s skill sharpening as well as personal growth.

ART is now in my DNA. I want to break the myth that one can achieve something only at a particular age.

With help of HCA, I started to participate globally and have won several Internal Prizes since the age of 4 years. I got the “Top 3” award in International Drawing Competition and was invited to receive my award in Budapest, Hungary in the year 2019. In 2020, I won a prize in International Drawing Competition in Japan. I have also achieved many International Recognitions in the field of art and all of this is because of the guidance and motivation I received at HCA.

I’ve been attending the Hobby Centre for Art for a few years. I had not experienced such an art institute before. HCA’s faculty is phenomenal… super helping, kind, and understanding. My perspective towards art has taken a different toll since I joined HCA. Art is beyond just drawing and sketching. The best part about joining HCA is that I’ve received international exposure as an artist, which is very motivating and keeps me pumped at all times.

I attended HCA when I was in high school. The skilled teachers here helped elevate my practice and guided me in preparing my college application portfolio. The art competitions I entered as a student with HCA were highly beneficial for my resume and college applications. I learned a variety of skills and art techniques here – oil and acrylic painting, sculpture, and still life painting to name a few. HCA also had visiting teachers and lecturers speak with the students almost every month. I have fond memories of this place being full of fun, experimentation, warmth, and community.

I am a fourth-year student pursuing Bachelor’s in Architecture (B.Arch.) from CEPT University. Since the age of 5, I had been learning drawing and painting from Panchal sir even before he had started Hobby Centre for Arts. HCA helped me participate in national and international drawing competitions. Panchal Sir has not only helped me develop my drawing skills but also helped me develop the patience and determination one must have toward their work. I am forever grateful to be a part of the Hobby Centre for Arts.
