About the Artist:

I am Swati Ravi (@swatiravi5 ), a self taught artist based out of Hyderabad, India. After completing my graduation, I worked for a few years in a corporate, after which I quit my job to learn German. This gave me more time to focus on my art and expand my horizons. I'm primarily an Oil Painter but have dabbled in other mediums like, Acrylics, Charcoal, Graphite, Animation and my latest obsession, Water colors. Portraits are my favorite subject to paint or sketch.
