About me
“I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship”
Ex:31:3
I am a Spirit taught artist.
You might be wondering about the term “Spirit taught “. Most of us are familiar with the term “self taught”. Honestly I am not “self ” taught. I even wonder how a person can be self taught since someone has to learn something from someone or something else. I do not dare to say that I am self taught. I would rather mention the name of my Teacher- Spirit of God. Hence I am a Spirit taught artist.
Please don’t get me wrong. I am not a religious person in any sense. Not a member of or part of or connected to any church or any religion such as christianity, hinduism, budhism, islam, judaism, jainism and however many religions of this world.
I personally know the God Yeshu because I am a child of God and a disciple of Yeshu. I have been given the gift of painting and taught by the Spirit of God.
This is what happened.
I moved to USA from India in 2008 and started working at Injoy Life Resources in Bellflower, California as a Life Coach for developmentally disabled adults. I had to do crafts and arts for the members as part of my work. I prayed to my God Yeshu to help me in the work. I started getting ideas for crafts and art projects which made my colleagues ask me “are you an artist ?” “have you done art studies ?” kind of questions. I have never even seen any art school or class in my life and never done any arts or paintings. When I was really young I bought a cheap kids watercolor thing like most of the kids and got rid of it because I could not paint .That was my only experience with painting before Injoy.
My wife saw something I painted on a wood piece at my work place, which I brought home, and she could not believe that I did it. And she bought a set of Acrylic painting stuff for me in 2010 as a birthday gift. My wife is the greatest source of encouragement and input on my paintings after God. I started painting without reading any books or watching any painting videos because the Spirit of God guided me. After doing few paintings God led me to read about paintings and drawings and also to watch videos. To my amazement I found that many things I did without any readings or videos in my paintings were actually techniques taught in the art world, including important compositional rules and painting techniques. God showed me that He had given me the gift of painting super naturally. And now I continue to learn more mainly by painting more. For me painting is a worship to my God who is my biggest fan. Praise God.
