Vignesh was spending his life living an ordinary existence. He was happy waking up at sharp 6 AM in the morning, reaching the office on time, going to the temple on Sundays and spending his evenings watching TV. But life is a book with many chapters and plot twists.

In 2017, Vignesh developed a medical condition that made it challenging for him to walk due to frequently travelling long distances and standing for several hours a day. As a result, he had to spend at least 30 days in bed. He didn’t want to sit idle and thus engaged himself in different activities which surprisingly ignited his love for painting.

Vignesh began experimenting with different art forms, trying to find the perfect medium to express his creativity. He tried pencil sculptures, fine paintings, three-dimensional paintings, hyperrealistic paintings, and realistic oil paintings, but nothing seemed to quite capture the essence of what he was trying to convey. Then, one day, he stumbled upon the Instagram Page of Michael Papadakis, a painter from California, USA who masters in sunlight wood burning artistry. Vignesh knew what to do next. Although, he was sceptical about this but deep down he knew he can master this art. The more he practised this art form, the more he grasped the essence of it. And then there was no looking back.
