Traveling Merchant by PallaviVarmaArts in Paris

Hi! I'm an Indian artist who recently moved to Paris. I’ve just started my art business here, and while I still have a lot to learn, I’m excited about the journey ahead. I love painting nature and fantasy worlds, using oil and acrylic as my primary mediums. My inspiration comes mostly from Baroque artists, and I really admire the work of Julien Delval. His ability to bring fantastical scenes to life deeply resonates with me. My background is in concept art, with a focus on world-building, particularly in historical fantasy. I began selling my paintings in 2024 while I was living in Singapore, and I've also worked on murals. A few months ago, I made the move to France, and I’m now in the process of rebuilding and growing my art practice here. For a long time, I kept my traditional paintings and my concept art separate — one rooted in nature, the other in imagined, historical worlds. But recently, I’ve started to merge the two, creating traditional paintings of fantasy landscapes. It’s a new direction for me, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it leads.
