My name is Eshaa, and I am a Freelance Artist and Graphic Designer from Mauritius.

By way of a preamble, I think it’s fair to say that I haven’t had the classic artist’s prologue; I didn’t grow up with a crayon in my hands. And if ever I chanced upon one, the result was always going to be lacklustre and far from anything that could get other people around to say, ‘This kid’s going places’. But as fate would have it, something clicked much later. Whatever artistic core I had yet to tap into kindled once right around the time I had picked Art for my O Levels on a whim and without any deliberation. Little did I know that I had also inadvertently set the rails for what I would do later on.

The rest happened seamlessly, and just like that, I was strapped in this rollercoaster and I've been enjoying every minute of it to this day. Drawing, as a whole, became what I sought the most and my best friend when things went bleak (and boy, did they not!). I knew which direction to look at when it was time for me to pick which path I was going to venture into as an adult and so when I finished high school, I made it a point to promote my work as best as I could, on platforms that include Instagram, Pinterest, and whatnot.

There, I would discover that I could experiment with different kinds of artworks and art styles, from portraits and illustrations to more stylised and imaginative pieces. At the same time, I could offer such services to people wishing to have their own drawings. What started as a hobby gradually became something much more serious. I went on to pursue my studies in Graphic Design and Multimedia, which allowed me to explore the other side of my creativity and eventually led me to where I am today. I completed my degree with First Class honours and now work as a Freelance Artist and Graphic Designer.

And so, here I am, still drawing, still designing, and still enjoying every minute of this rollercoaster.
