News 7 World Exclusive :
I went for a cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts, saw a stranger totally engrossed, leaning over coffee table with some paper scattered all over the table. There was a colour box and few empty coffee cups. I got curious went closer and found some one totally aloof from the surrounding busy in his work, doing painting and having sip of coffee.
His activity made me curious, I felt excited though I did not feel like disturbing him but my excitement got better of me. Asked him curiosly “how could you manage such creative process in a busy place like cafe?” . He Smiled and said, “sip of coffee makes it easy” . My interrogative mind started preparing questions one after another. From him I came to know that he is trained Artist who didi his Master degree and Bachelor degree in painting from Banaras Hindu University (BHU,at VARANASI ) in 2005. Anubhav Som (aka som), teaches at National Institute of Designing(NID) as visiting Faculty. He works as an illustrator for many advertising agencies like Grey World wide ,Lowe Lintas, Ogilvy. Anubhav, does painting (portrait and landscape) and has worked for Ginger group of hotels for their Katra and Chandigarh property as graphic designer.
Q :- My next question was, what is that excites most working at Dunkin or any café?
Ans:- “Studio is a secluded space where not all people are invited, but at public pleaces like this I get opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, I hear them talking, aroma of coffee, a walk, loitering round, ease me out and motivates too. When I get tired seeing Dunkin Staff working hard I get inspiration. I push my self, gather my energy to work again.
Q:- To said you love doing portrait, do you do portrait here? how much do you charge?
Ans: “HaHa, I could see this question coming. Yes I do portrait, At Dunkin I do not charge, I do portrait because it gives me opportunity to study features of different faces and it helps me sharpening my skill. Only thing is I do not sign my work unless I am paid. I feel art has many side, art entertains us makes us happy and it communicate.I believe art has come as a gift to me from God, not always but sometime atleast I can share this gift with people to give them happiness.”
My next request was, “May I request you to do a Portrait of mine” ?
He gave a Smile and said “sure I would love to, but it would go as gift.”
