Our Inspiration

The giants of the art world, including Salvador Dali, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci, have left indelible marks on history through their unparalleled talent, dedication, and innovation. Their works are a testament to the limitless potential of the human imagination. To quote Salvador Dali,

“If you refuse to study anatomy, the arts of drawing and perspective, the mathematics of aesthetics, and the science of color, let me tell you that this is more a sign of laziness than of genius.”

We, at Chitra Shastra Atelier, draw inspiration from these masters, and their influence permeates every aspect of our institution.

Education is the utmost fundamental aspect of human life, to be educated means to understand what it is to live a life, what is philosophy, understand the meaning of freedom, equality and equity, the very virtues inspire us to provide a proper education to all. To quote Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar,

“Knowledge is the basis of human life. To enhance the intellectual capacity of the students; Also, every effort should be made to increase their intelligence”.
