Gaurav Sharma

illustrator, graphic designer

India
I’m a freelannce Graphic Designer and illustrator based out of India. I work on visual design, illustrations and comics under the Pseudonym of Gaurav Vikalp.

I've worked with clients like Nyaaya.in, People's Archive of Rural India and Billdesk on their online products. I've been associated with art residencies like Kochi Biennale foundation and Farside collective. I've worked on a comic about the pigeon flyers in Kochi, under the guidance of Orijit Sen. I've also been associated with FOLO as a designer since 2016.

I'm a storyteller at heart and I try to bring Indian stories out in form of comics. I like to question the age of internet, social media, gender and society with my art works. I love the idea of both abstraction and abject realism, and I often merge both in my Illustrations and murals.
