About us

Hi, Im Arpith Ashok I am a 22-year-old simple, disciplined, happy, and blessed by the Creator to perceive this beautiful world in my own unique way. With time, I have understood that my Autism limits my ability to express verbally or reciprocate in what the world calls the “Normal” way. But this also means I don’t think of the world around me as much as others, and this is helping me find my own voice, through colours and art. Art is my medium of expression, born out of my struggle. I have difficulty understanding boundaries while writing.

Until the age of 14, & my parents never thought that I could paint due to my writing difficulty. My Art teacher identified my eye for colours and encouraged me to paint. With the mentorship of my teachers & support from parents, I'm what I'm today. I don't want to work towards success but towards Excellence.

Arpith Mission of Creating Awareness about Organ Donation

Arpith's journey through life has been defined by both challenges and unique perspectives that come with being neurodiverse. With a heart full of compassion and a mind brimming with artistic talent, Arpith has made it his mission to give back to society in a meaningful way. Inspired by the movie " Chennaiyil oru naal", he has chosen to focus his efforts on raising awareness about organ donation. Having pledged his organs to help others in need, Arpith understands the profound impact that a single decision can have on countless lives. He believes that art has the power to transcend barriers, ignite conversations, and spark change. Through his expressive paintings, he seeks to highlight the importance of organ donation and the hope it represents for those facing life-threatening conditions.

Arpith's creativity is not only a means of self-expression but also a powerful tool for advocacy. He aims to educate his community about the critical need for organ donors and inspire others to consider the gift of life. Arpith is passionate about breaking down misconceptions surrounding organ donation and fostering a culture of openness and generosity. His goal is clear: to touch hearts with his art and encourage not just awareness, but action, ultimately transforming lives through the gift of life itself. " Bound by Love, not by Limitations.Because every story deserves a second chapter."

Brief about myself

I am a teenage artist on the autism spectrum who loves painting wet on wet and landscapes. Art makes me feel calm, composed, and confident. Started my art journey 9 years back in an art class in Mumbai, India. This is my impression in the professional art world. I have participated in many Exhibitions, have sold art pieces in India. The fingerprint of my art is of smooth pastel colours and simple details. I have difficulty in understanding boundaries in writing & communicating complex verbal Sentences. But I believe " Why fit in, when I'm born to stand out".
