Fine Art Atelier

Bringing Art to Everyone – Empowering Creativity, Inspiring Growth.

Our VISION

We make art accessible to everyone, inspiring creativity and building a welcoming community. Our mission is to spark passion and transform lives through the joy of art.

WHO AM I?

Hello! I’m Tirtha Sankar Bharadwaj, an artist, art teacher, and founder of the Aurora School of Fine Art & Dance in Guwahati. My journey into the world of art was anything but conventional. After earning my MBA and working in the corporate world for 5 years, I found myself drawn to a path I couldn’t ignore—my passion for art.

Choosing art over a traditional career wasn’t just a decision; it was a calling. I knew deep down that creativity had the power to transform lives, and I wanted to dedicate myself to sharing that gift with others. That’s why, in 2018, I opened my art school, starting with just two students and a heart full of determination.

Today, I teach art not just as a skill but as a way of life. My mission is to prove that anyone, regardless of age or background, can learn and excel in art. I believe art should be accessible to everyone, and through my classes, I aim to inspire, educate, and empower my students to discover their unique creative voice.

What started as a passion has now become my life’s work—helping people nurture their creativity, express themselves, and even build careers in art. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, I’m here to guide you on your artistic journey.

MY EXPERTISE

I excel in a diverse array of artistic mediums, each offering a unique spectrum of creative possibilities. From the luminous glazing techniques of oil painting and the dynamic layering of acrylics to the opaque vibrancy of gouache and the rich, tactile expressiveness of oil pastels and soft pastels, I am adept at guiding students to achieve technical mastery and artistic finesse. My expertise also encompasses the intricate line work of pen and ink, the multifaceted potential of mixed media, and the innovative applications of digital art, enabling artists to explore and refine their unique visual language.

My artistic foundation

My artistic foundation is deeply rooted in representational realism, inspired by the techniques and philosophies of Old Masters like Rembrandt, Vermeer, John Constable, and John Singer Sargent. Simultaneously, my work is heavily influenced by the aesthetics and narrative-driven compositions of the Golden Age of American Illustration, drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Howard Pyle, N C Wyeth, Albert Dorne, Tom Lovell, Harvey Dunn, Dean Cornwell, Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, and N.C. Wyeth.

My artwork style

This dual influence allows me to craft artworks that harmonize meticulous realism with compelling storytelling and dynamic design. Whether through meticulously constructed chiaroscuro or evocative compositions, I guide my students in creating works that are both technically profound and visually captivating. My classes are structured to help you master these techniques, empowering you to create art that resonates deeply and tells powerful, engaging stories.
