Inku Kumar is graphic designer and contemporary calligraphy practitioner. He believes that we all are surrounded by objects of art. Every day we learn from surroundings. We just need to look around to explore & pick up the references of our choice from the surroundings to produce the work of art.
He works across numerous mediums and tools in calligraphy, mostly well known for his striking contemporary calligraphy & experimental compositions from his own unique vision. His work addresses the intersection between language and the art. He received his BFA & MFA in Applied Art from College of Art, Delhi. He has a successful career of 7 years serving as a graphic designer in ESPN Start Sports and with the growing passion & enthusiasm towards Calligraphy, Inku left the corporate world in 2013 and committed his journey to explore the art form in his unique way. Since then, he never looked back and carved his own path to set his own trademarks in Calligraphy.
In his recent years, Inku established his own studio / institute named CALLIART and worked with many recognized brands. When not making art, he can be found conducting innovative workshop on Calligraphy. “I believe there are high standards to be maintained and constantly sharpened or improved.”
