ENGRAVE’D EMOTIONS SEPT’22

HELLO

I’m Graffie Rayan, a 25-year-old selftaught artist from Tamil Nadu, India. In spite of a background in Architecture, my journey in art has always been deeply personal. I’ve channeled emotions through my work for as long as I can remember, which is why my primary focus is on human portraits—an intimate reflection of emotion in its most complex form.

Over the years, I’ve honed my techniques to create realistic portraits that capture the depth and authenticity of human feeling. As I look ahead on this artistic path, I find myself contemplating: Is reality merely what we perceive, or does it extend beyond the limits of our senses?

Through my art, I strive to explore and reveal the subtle, often overlooked truths of everyday life—simple, hidden realities that speak to something deeper. .
