Here, papier mache is an ancestral art form and I've been attracted towards it since hood. I realized that this craft is 450 years old and needs the attention of the young generation. My father taught me, and also my siblings. Learning anything needs practice and focus. Without practice and focus, I don't believe it's possible to learn anything. I also believe there are no masters of a craft we focus and learn new things every day. We use paper and wood. What I like best is working with colors, and I love creating new designs. I get inspiration from my father and grandfather, who both worked day and night to promote this ancestral art.'
