Aesthetic wall decor painting by Varna Turigai in Chennai

I’m Dhinisha, an independent artist working across illustration, murals, and portrait art. I have contributed as an illustrator for the historical novel Ponniyin Selvan and central -translating heritage into visual storytelling. I started working professionally from 2018, while my main artistic journey took shape from 2021. My work is rooted in creating meaningful and expressive visuals, and I am currently involved in a project focused on socially marginalized communities. Alongside my independent practice, I conduct workshops and work as an art tutor, sharing my knowledge with aspiring artists. I have also started an initiative called Heal Me, where selected paintings are auctioned, and 50–80% of the funds are used to support underprivileged children.
