Priya Sebastian is an awesome artist and illustrator who works mainly in charcoal and pastel.
Whenever I see her work I feel 'black' is the most beautiful colour. Congregation Self-Portrait
The most striking feature in most of her illustrations are the 'eyes' of her characters, they seem to express so many different emotions!Yama
She uses colours also beautifully just to give that extra punch.* Sigh*

I am still under the spell of the amazing works by these two extremely talented artists. Hope you enjoyed their work as much as I did showcasing them.:-)

P.S. A special thanks to Masala Chai, who introduced me to Kalyani's work.

Swoon. I really love the colors and shapes in the first series. They remind me of a kid's book that I just LOVED. Something about a donkey...now I'll have to call my Grandmother and ask her about it!
I love Priya's work. How nice to see many of them all together!
LOVED Kalyani's Neend Mein. Beautiful! & really liked Priya's self portrait and 'Yama' strong style, bold strokes. Super interesting & really different.
Hauntingly beautiful! Thank you Arch for sharing!
