Malankars Art Studio

Down in Kandivali West, specifically on the first floor of the Nalanda building, you will find our little space called Malankars Art Studio. It is tucked away in Vallabhwadi. The studio is usually filled with brushes, paints, and sketches scattered around. We have been doing this for a long time now. It is not one of those high-end galleries where everything is quiet and clinical. Instead, it is a working space where things get a bit chaotic. We spend our days drawing, painting, and teaching people how to hold a pencil properly. The light in the morning is quite good in this part of the building, which helps when you are trying to get the colors right. People from around the neighborhood drop by to see what we are working on. Sometimes we are doing portraits, other times it is just practice. We do not have a big team or a receptionist. It is just us and the art. It gets a bit dusty with all the charcoal and chalk, but that is part of the charm I suppose. We chose this spot in Kandivali because it is where we live and work. It is easy to find if you know where the supermarket is. We just want to keep making things and maybe show a few others how to do it too. It is a simple life, mostly quiet, except for the sound of someone scraping a palette knife. We don't worry about being perfect.
