At the Heart of Kozhikode by Shibitha Elizabeth in Kollam

I’m a Kerala-based artist with a lifelong passion for turning ideas into visually striking experiences. My journey began in the most unexpected way—using my meal plate as a canvas and creating art with leftover food. What started as a playful way to impress others soon became a powerful source of peace, purpose, and self-expression. I pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts, specializing in Applied Arts, and quickly expanded my practice across multiple mediums. From murals and canvas paintings to high-quality digital illustrations, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients to bring their visions to life with precision and creativity. Alongside my studies, I also worked as an art teacher for toddlers and teens, building a strong foundation in both technique and communication. Professionally, I’ve worked as a graphic designer and illustrator in both freelance and full-time roles, delivering clean, impactful, and commercially ready visuals. My work is known for its attention to detail, aesthetic balance, and ability to connect with audiences. Beyond visual design, I bring a unique dimension through art therapy. After successfully conducting workshops in corporate spaces, I pursued certification in Art and Movement Therapy. Today, I use art not just to create, but to help individuals heal, express, and rediscover themselves. I also specialize in interactive art experiences, including body and face painting, adding a vibrant and engaging element to events and celebrations. With a strong habit of daily sketching and continuous learning, I consistently refine my craft to deliver high-quality, meaningful work. I don’t just create art—I create experiences that leave a lasting impression.
