CURRICULUM VITAE

Swarnali Mondal

 

My admiration to art is platonic.

I would love to introduce myself as an artist, who is edge-free. I know not to keep myself bound to certain criteria of ideas and concepts. Nature inspires me a lot. I am often driven to ideas which shines as a challenge to be the ice-breaker.

Art is beautiful, whether you categorize yourself under traditional or digital art form; whether you like to sculpt it or sketch it. I am a CFx Artist by profession and my road was carved by my passion which is traditional art of drawing, where one go through a thought process and create something out of nothingness and evidence its very existence by nurturing one's casual thoughts parallelly running to innovative brainstorming outburst.

I am from India, where culture is colourful and versatile. So, being born and brought up in such an environment, it has nourished my personality to its brim. I have always tried to be a versatile being too, educating myself about various skills such as singing, writing, photography, traditional dance form like Bharatnatyam, martial arts, yoga and so on. Keeping up with various fields has not only developed by certain skill level but also broadened up my mind and helped me to understand every possible perspective to various different matters that often tickles and bothers every individual.

It really fascinates me when our audience enjoys their participation while we touch the corner of their world which was never been discovered before so beautifully. Being privileged to upbring my individuality to the world of Animation Film Industry encouraged me to support my own ideas and concepts and being confident even if few people find it uninteresting or merely supportive. One of my well wisher once said, 'You don't need to attract people you just have to be yourself.'

I want to narrate stories about how to capture every flanklet of beauty, from nature. How to save, every last drop of sunshine for our crown, cause our body may perish in just a glance.

My roots are in Bengal, my purpose might change after every task I get assigned to, but my thirst for knowledge will keep me enrooted. I'm walking forward, promising myself not to turn back and will always try to look, beyond that wrinkle of time.
