a bright blue hue serves as the background for the bronze-colored paints applied to the walls. various motifs and symbols from animals to people are abstractly illustrated in whimsical and dramatic compositions throughout the space. the students will see the process of the artists at the school where they study, bringing them closer to creativity and their community. the annual event is co-organized by the japan foundation which aims to form bonds between india and japan and art by supporting and nurturing cross cultural exchange.

Outstanding. The freedom of style as indicated by the Artist Yusuke Asai San in this mural will translate to ‘open freer thinking’ in the minds of the Students. I love this. This is constructive art at its peak. Artist Yusuke Asai San should be commended highly.
It remind me to the young season when I facinated by fantastic cartoon.
Hope it helps a boy to another cosmos~
