Mulick
My
father, Pratap Mulick, is a well-known illustrator and painter. My own
artistic ability became apparent rather early. I have been drawing since
the age of 5 and I started doing watercolour landscapes at the age of
13. I received our government's National Talent Scholarship to study
art, but I decided to major in engineering rather than art.
After graduation, however, I returned to my artistic inclinations and
began doing architectural illustrations and other commercial and design
work. I continued painting landscapes and giving art lessons as well.
Recently, however, having reversed these priorities, I am painting most
of the time and spending less time teaching and very little in commercial
work. I am now giving occasional watercolour demonstrations in government
art colleges in Maharashtra. I am a visiting faculty member for the
India art gallery. I also hold workshops occasionally, and teach a few
students privately.
