Hello, I'm Darshika Varma, an artist based in Mumbai known for vibrant use of colors and a touch of whimsy in my work. A dreamer at heart, I often find inspiration in fairytales and fantasy novels I enjoy immersing myself in.

In my recently illustrated book "The Festival of Lights," I delved into richly detailed illustrations that border on maximalism. From intricate decorative elements to the minimalist charm of board books, I find joy in the diversity of artistic expression.

I started drawing at a young age when my parents got me A Mini Treasure Chest of Fairytales illustrated by legends like Tony Wolf, Piero Cattaneo, and Severino Baraldi. This early exposure to classic illustrations sparked my love for everything vintage and old school, influencing my art style and choice of themes. I strive to saturate my art with a bit of nostalgia on timeless charm that resonates with audience of all ages.
