Dilavar Art

If you're looking for us, we're at Panam Plaza, right opposite the Relief Cinema in Panchbatti. We have three shops combined—129, 130, and 131. It’s a big space but somehow we still manage to fill it up with all our art supplies and finished pieces. Being on Station Road means there’s never a dull moment. You can hear the trains and the crowds all day long. We do a bit of everything here when it comes to art and signage. There’s usually someone in the back painting or cutting vinyl while someone else talks to a customer at the front. It’s a bit messy, to be honest. There are paint cans and rolls of material everywhere you look, but we know where everything is. We started out small and just kept adding more shop space as we needed it. We don't do much advertising; the location near the cinema helps people find us. Some days we're working late into the night to finish a big display, and other days we're just drinking tea and waiting for the paint to dry. We don't have any big corporate goals. We just like making things look good. It's a lot of hard work and sometimes our hands are stained for days, but it's what we know how to do. We just take each day as it comes and try to keep the shop in some kind of order.
