Charcoal Artwork by Abhi
About the Artist
Born and raised in central India, I discovered my passion for self-expression through charcoal drawings at a young age. Charcoal, a timeless and sustainable art medium used to create ancient cave paintings worldwide, captivated me. However, in today's fast-paced world, this traditional art form is fading, giving way to environmentally harmful alternatives with a significant carbon footprint.
Driven to preserve this historic art form and promote sustainable artistry, my work balances environmental consciousness with visual serenity. Globally recognized through publications and exhibitions, I now reside in New York City, where I work as a Climate Change and Sustainability Consultant. My Master's degree in Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University provides a holistic understanding of design principles, which complements my proficiency in digital design tools while fostering my love for hand-drawn artistry.
Through my art, I aspire to awaken reverence for our environment and galvanize a shared commitment to protecting our planet for future generations. I invite you to join me in my art's mission to inspire respect for our environment and unite us through creativity.

Charcoal: A Time-Honored and Sustainable Art Medium Charcoal is a versatile and sustainable art medium with a rich history. Derived from burnt wood or organic materials, charcoal has been used to create stunning works of art for centuries. Its unique properties, such as its velvety texture and deep black hue, make it ideal for creating expressive artworks that evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. In addition to its artistic merits, charcoal is also a sustainable art medium. Unlike other art materials, such as oil paints and acrylics, charcoal does not require the use of harmful solvents or chemicals. Additionally, charcoal can be easily recycled and reused, minimizing its environmental impact. |
Championing Sustainable Artistry As a Climate Change and Sustainability Consultant, I am passionate about promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of life, including art. I believe that artists have a unique opportunity to use their platform to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire others to take action. Through my charcoal drawings, I strive to create a visual dialogue about the importance of protecting our planet. I hope that my art will inspire viewers to reflect on their relationship with the environment and adopt more sustainable lifestyles. |
