In a significant stride toward enriching the local cultural landscape, the Athma Art Gallery today hosted an intimate and highly specialized acrylic painting workshop led by the distinguished artist Kalesh Kala. This event, organized under the prestigious banner of the Athma Global Art Movement (AGAM), brought together a select, limited group of participants to ensure a deep and focused learning experience. The workshop attracted a dedicated circle of artists spanning various age groups, from young, emerging talents to seasoned senior practitioners, each contributing their unique perspectives to a collaborative atmosphere of creative discovery. Under the expert mentorship of Kalesh Kala, participants delved into the intricacies of acrylic layering, texture, and modern composition, gaining personalized insights that are often lost in larger settings.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sujeesh Surendran, Director of Athma Art Gallery and the visionary behind the movement, emphasized the critical importance of such curated artistic gatherings in the modern era. He stated that in an increasingly digital and fragmented society, there is an urgent need for physical spaces that foster genuine creative mentorship and tactile expression. According to Mr. Sujeesh, these workshops are not merely about teaching technique but are essential social interventions that allow individuals to reconnect with their inner selves and find a sense of community through shared passion.
