Vishwajyoti Mohrhoff

Though originally from Madhya Pradesh, I have lived in Pondicherry since the age of three. I took to painting in my mid 20’s, but have never looked back since. I started painting with the airbrush, moved on to oils, and now am mostly working with watercolors and acrylics. , I like to experiment with different themes and mediums to test my communication skills. I hate to be bound by a signature style.
