Raghava KK: “A Journey from Cartoons to Participatory Art”
Indian-born artist Raghava KK entered the world of art through self-discovery. Discovering a skill, he could be proud of in the midst of a Catholic school where he was not academically or athletically gifted; he delved into cartooning. Upon leaving school, he began a career in drawing cartoons—providing his services wherever he could, and always sharing his love of drawing with children. Not only did he teach them, but they did the same, teaching him spontaneity, laughter, and the freedom of expression.
A volatile exchange after led him to make a life change, giving up cartooning, and take to travel. A chance meeting with an Italian artist led him to the decision to become a painter. He taught himself to paint using his hands and feet, each work becoming larger. After painting a flamenco dancer, following a dance company and selling some works along the way, he began to earn money. He discovered a way to bring his works to life with the collaboration of art and dancers.
