In the artist's words
Hi, this is Chirag Chauhan. This isn't just an artistic journey for me; it's a quest for self-discovery. I'm exploring how my emotions and perceptions shape my understanding of the world around me. Born and raised in a Gujarati family, with my father in corporate for 35 years and my mother a homemaker, I've encountered limitations, blind beliefs, and manipulative forces throughout my life. I graduated from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (MSU) in 2020 with a Master's in Printmaking and Painting. While college provided technical skills, I realized that simply completing a fine arts degree doesn't automatically make you an artist. I felt burdened by the weight of knowledge and belief systems that emphasized the difficulty of life and the importance of history and psychology, while neglecting the core question of 'Who am I?' This led me on a path of self-exploration. At 30, I'm deeply engaged in understanding myself from every facet of my inner being. I believe visualization is more than just an artistic tool; it's a powerful belief system that can guide you towards your goals. My early works reflected my inner state, and I found that when I painted sadness, others could feel that sadness too. To deepen my understanding of my brain patterns, I delved into neurology and psychology. I've discovered the profound power of 'frequency, vibration, and energy' – I feel it, and it empowers me. I've reinvigorated my artistic journey in 2025. My current work is more stable and aligned, infused with my own energy. It's not merely art; it's a reflection of my deeply held beliefs. We all carry pain, faith, and beliefs that shape our character and confidence. My life's motto is "Work for a Better World." My art provides me with strength. I believe in the universe and the vibrational nature of everything. Through experiences in motion pictures, photography, painting, sculpting, printmaking, finance, and even the food industry, I've explored the power of the senses. I've faced challenges, endured pain, and learned to accept all aspects of myself. I believe that darkness often illuminates the path to self-understanding. As the director of the 'Chirag Art Foundation,' my role extends beyond creating artworks. I aim to preserve them for future generations and demonstrate the power of visualization through various artistic forms. This is my journey, a journey of purpose. I feel love and faith permeating the air. I'm learner
