Ar. TARA SHARMA SINGLA
As a sensitive designer I observe the importance of requirements given by a client, respect the environment, work parallel to the context delivering best designs based on solid research and immaculate detail. As an artist I work in portraits, palimpsest art and miniatures. I have also exhibited in Paris. As a researcher, I question the cities and residents living in oblivion, shadowing their future. As an academician, my goal is to make the young generation of designers aware how important is sensitivity and attention to details is. I base my teaching on the fundamentals of Socratic learning evolving and learning each day to offer an immersive learning experience to my students. In the process, I cherish my journey and celebrate my junctures of growth.
