We're ecstatic to feature the work of Leirik Oinam, student of 5th Semester Media Technologies. Leirik Oinam was born in Silchar, Assam but moved to Garo Hills at age 4. She completed her high school from St. Mary’s higher Secondary School, Shillong. Apart from her hobby of sketching, she enjoys listening to music and resting in her free time.
Art is something that I have always loved and admired. As a child I would spend hours drawing my favourite cartoon characters and Disney princesses. I remember looking at artworks made by other artists that were featured on newspapers and wishing to be able to draw as good as them. Maybe my younger self would be really inspired by the artworks I create now. My journey as a portrait artist in particular started at age 14 when one day I accidentally ended up drawing a picture of Hritik Roshan that was present at the back of a notebook. That motivated me to practice portraiture. Although I still have plenty of room for improvement, but I believe practice and faith in myself is what has brought me to where I am today.
