From the Artinorbit podcast with artist Praveen Nadaraju interviewed by Sofi Ortegano —a young artist and musical theater student.
Praveen took his own unique artistic route, training for over 20 years in Life drawing, Industrial Design, Classical, and Computer Animation.
Praveen Moodley Nadaraju in his own words:
I would describe my style as heuristic (unknown), part of this art process uses a Cezanne-like approach to layering multi angle images, ranging from, dolls to nature, nothing is out of bounds, I feel and let things flow, constantly challenging myself to go further and look deeper into myself and my work.
At 17, I started practicing the Italian Classical way of life drawing.
I then pursued a career in Industrial Design, which led into Interior Design for 6 years and another 20 years transitioning into Classical &
Computer Animation.
The last three years has been a mash of experiences, from starting a Wellness business (defunct), being offered a job as a hedge fund consultant, everything changed once I sought change, that change is still happening. Art, art is the foundation of my being, it's what allows me to go beyond the animal state of human nature.

SOFI — You said something that I found interesting. Everything you said was very interesting. However, I saw something very interesting in what you said about, I am finally not hating it, referring to your art. Have you always been very critical about your creations?
PRAVEEN — Yeah, always. I always had this sort of nervous energy happening where I was, I felt like something was always wrong per se. I always had that for like and I couldn't figure out what it was and then even when I had tried a few times to put my work up in you know just coffee shops things like that and just talk to the owners and they would put it up it still wasn't what I wanted it to be. I always felt like that.
So, you know, that had been going on for a long time. And I guess I would always also ask for feedback from a lot of different artists and hear what they had to say. And it was always all over the map because everybody has a different opinion of what looks good and what doesn't look good. It's so subjective. And I guess what has tended to work for me is keep asking and I just that's what I kept doing. So this entire time for about three years I just kept asking everybody I possibly could because I'm surrounded by artists like really really good artists who do feature films and things like that so I asked them and actually one of the directors he's he does really well he's an also an artist he's and he's made a few films and things like that and I showed him.
I spent a whole year actually doing a website and I showed him my work and then he said I would politely like to tell you that this is okay but it's not, you know, that great. And so that was hard to listen to, but, and he was surrounded by other artists but I listened, you know, and then I just put it away for about six months and I just went into my little thing and thought about it and I didn't do any artwork at all for six months and I thought I wasn't going to do it ever again, to be honest with you, after that.
And about three to six months passed again and I slowly started to get involved again and I started to question myself and I was thinking why. Why are you doing this? It didn't work the first time why are you still trying and so I I kept going and going and going and that's what it's like now it's like pushing and pushing and pushing harder like every time I'm doing something I'm throwing away six pieces. Like I'll layer six pieces and I look at it and I'll go, yeah, that's really good. Maybe not. Honestly, I'm trying not to hold on to things. So, I will just keep working on them and I'll just say, okay, that's fine. It's about time maybe you should just stop, and this looks good. And I'll do that.
But at the same time, I will say that I almost feel like there was something in the first podcast when you were talking about She mentioned her hand being guided by something else other than who she is I'm a firm believer in that that I almost would expand upon that and say that I It's almost like How can I put this it's completely out of my hands? And I would go as far back as like even birth. Because I look at everything that's ever happened to me and I said, I asked myself. Like, right now I'm here talking to Sofi and we're on this podcast and I've been able to get my art done and it's impossible. I would say, you know, if I was to look back and say, well, this is all going to happen to you in your life and then you're going to end up here. I'd be like, really? Like all that has to happen. I mean, so many things have happened to me.
