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 — Have you ever lost the feeling of attachment to a piece you have made? Or an object that you have kept for a long time?
PRAVEEN — Probably probably yeah, I would say yes and then I will just keep them around and I'll make sure I don't destroy them, but I'll keep them and I'll always ask myself. You know, you don't know why you have this, but I would just keep it and look at it and some most of the time as an example. I was going to throw away my life drawings because I was really, really in a bad place at one point and I had collected about 40 I think that I really loved. Everybody loved them. So I used to just give them away. People would come over and they'd just say, what? And I'd say, yeah, you can have it.
And then you'd go, okay. So they get to go through it and they would take it and then frame it and put it in their house. So I'm looking at them and I'd just be like, take the best ones. I don't care what they are. And so I ended up with like 20 or 15 and I thought they were garbage. I was gonna put them in the garbage so many times, Sophie Like because I moved six times because I was separated and if things were just a big mess, right? And so I'm just shifting these things around. I'm just throwing them. I'm just like I don't care, but I know I need to keep them I don't know why so they actually ended up in like three or four different homes of running around looking for things I think I still have like 15 that are lost but I ended up using them. Like, I'm like, hey, you dummy, you know what I mean?
This is a big part of you as an artist. You could show people. What in the, and I wanted to throw them in the garbage. And yet I had spent so many hundreds of painful hours of teachers yelling at you and saying, your line work is not, you're not going, you're doing your lines too choppy, right? Like, I mean, I don't know if people realize too how that feels, like art, like. French artists, I guess, perhaps. I'm not sure, but that's sure what it was for me. That they were really passionate about how you're going to approach your life, John.
So it's strange, right? Because many professions don't do that. Dude, right? It's not emotional like that. So art is like that. I just also wanted to tell you that I'm really privileged to be here today, to be talking to you. I really feel that this might not even be real, but it is, and I'm really privileged. I never thought I would be here in my whole life talking to you, and reaching this level. Like I never even considered how deep, like, or the insights in the sort of the real art world.
I never understood it myself until I listened to your podcast and when I listened to the first podcast I go oh my god I was slapping myself in the brain I'm just like dude where have you been you know it was like not talking you guys are so like fluent and open and talk so beautifully and expressing yourself. That's something I'm just only kind of…
SOFI — Well, thank you so much. That's really kind.
