About Atharva
A practice of looking closely.
An emerging artist and designer building a lifelong practice from observation, care, and curiosity.
Introduction
I am Atharva Warade, an artist and emerging designer from Pune. My practice begins with close observation: the gestures, objects, systems, and small acts of invention that shape everyday life.
I use drawing, making, photography, and research to turn those observations into visual stories and considered design responses. I am preparing for NID and UCEED while building a practice that stays curious, humane, and open to change.

Attention is not a prelude to the work. Attention is the work.
