Ashutosh Ratnakar is an aspiring artist and social worker. He is a manager in an NGO that works on improving employability skills in underprivileged youth. He envisions a world where access to education and resources to actualize one’s true potential is available to all. He believes art has the potential to open dialogues and transform society. It can open doors that reasons cannot. While good art makes the audience praise the skills of the artist, great art overwhelms them. It helps them see a perspective that they would have otherwise ignored.
Through his artworks he tries to gently shake the status quo of a society that has normalized discrimination, repression and subjugation of human beings and ideas. The medium of his artwork evolves as per the requirement. It could be a painting, a sculpture or a poem.
