“Art isn’t just about brushes, paints, pen, papers etc to me - it’s a part of my soul, it’s one thing which is extremely personal to me and the idea that I or my art would help someone just made me unexplainably & inexpressibly happy yet nervous about how to begin it. Heart - The name that instantly struck to my mind - the idea that it has the word ‘Art’ in it and the sole reason for me to start this initiative - to make people’s heart happy and that I am doing it with all my heart, made me come up with this name. Ever since I started creating art, I always knew I would do it for philanthropic causes. Hence, Heart was the first step to accomplish my goal of touching hearts.

Engaging in social work transformed me, instilling kindness and compassion in my pursuits. Interacting with diverse cultures expanded my perspective, revealing my true purpose.
My dream is to bring smiles to as many hearts as possible, knowing that my efforts can make a positive change in someone else's life. The realisation that I have made a significant contribution towards a better tomorrow elated me and has created a sense of responsibility, satisfaction, and self-motivation in me to do more."
