Sh. DILIP PURANIK – Banker and Folk Artist with Maximum Awards in One Year.
From Pune, Maharashtra,
India.
Q1. How did your career journey start? Or Who/What inspired you to start this Art Journey?
I am born and brought up in Hyderabad
City of Telangana State. Since childhood I was attracted to Drawing and painting.
When I was in 6th standard, our school was conducting Drawing
Classes after the school hours. I insisted to my parents for joining these
classes. Seeing my drawing skills, My First Guru Shri. Girgaonkar Sir
recommended to join Art Section of our Educational Institute – Vivek Vardhini
Education Society’s High school premises where Shri. D.G. Dongre sir was
conducting the classes. I had learned all the aspects of Art under his guidance
from Drawing, Sketching, Colouring in Watercolours, and graduated to Oil
Colours, and passed Lower, Higher-Grade exams and also done Diploma in Fine Art
till my Graduation from the same institute.
Q2. Kindly share some information about your Arts, products and services
here.
After completion of my Diploma in
Arts and Graduation, I was searching for a job. Until then I started my own
business and started as a commercial artist and undertook Designing of Logo,
Letterhead, Wedding Cards, Hoardings, Banners and packaging designs till I got
a job in Bank of India in 1980. After joining
Bank, my art journey took a back seat.
Q3. What kind of challenges did you face while starting/doing your arts?
I retired from Bank in 2016. Before
retirement I had decided to pursue my love for art and decided to start my art
journey a fresh after a gap of nearly 36 years. Initially I was doing paintings
without any aim and just to pass the time,
But one day I came across a FB Live
session of Indian Folk art, who is a renowned Mithila-Madhubani Artist and a
state awardee. I joined Mithila course conducted by him and I got a direction
to learn and know about our rich heritage of Indian Folk Art. I started
exploring other art forms such as Gond, Warli, Kalamkari, Chitrakathi, Cheriyal
etc. to know more about our ancient treasure of art.
Q4. Are you an Art Entrepreneur?
No. I am not an Art Entrepreneur. I
do art as a passion for the love of Art and also do it for self-satisfaction
and happiness. My art prospered with the guidance and encouragement from my
Gurus during the Lockdown period since last one and half year. I was totally
immersed in doing folk art of Mithila which helped me to sustain the lockdown
period and instead I enjoyed this period which was a very difficult time for
many others. So, for me Art is healing effect on me and my family. My motto is
to get happiness and spread happiness through my art.
Q5. Do share with our readers about your
discovery period when you were facing difficulties?
After completion of graduation and before getting Job, it was a tough period for me. As at that time in 1976 to 1980 I got frustrated due to unemployment and one day I got a chance to paint one sign board independently for our own educational institute. Here I realised that my art can also help me earn. Since then, I started learning commercial art from some of my friends who were practicing commercial art and assisted them in creating designs, paintings, and learned screen printing techniques also. You may call it a discovery period in difficult times.
Q6. Share with our readers about your experiment period after the discovery period?
After retirement, when I started painting again. While learning, I started to participate in Online National & International exhibitions, contests, competitions. Where I got appreciation, awards, and accolades. I had participated in Indo-Taiwan, Indo-Morrocco, and my paintings were also displayed in online exhibitions in Turkey, Venezuela.

Q6. How have you empowered other people?
I always encourage and appreciate
other persons art. This helps them to do more in a better way which develops
the person as an artist. Many people say that I inspire them through my
art.
Q7. What are your future plans? Or now
what is your vision for next five years?
My future plans are to learn as many
as Indian Folk Arts and spread the Authentic Tradition of doing it through my
painting. As I have already crossed 65 years of age, my vision for next five
years is continue to enjoy and enrich my art journey in a better and perfect
way.
Q8. How would you advice/suggest new artists/entrepreneurs who
want to start & sustain?
I am still a learner and student. I
cannot advice. But I can suggest new artists / entrepreneurs who want to start
and sustain that believe in yourself and keep creating, keep learning. Do it
wholeheartedly and enjoy the process of creation. If you love and enjoy your
creation it will definitely appeal to the people and reflects your love,
affection, dedication in your art. Name and fame will follow automatically.
