“Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist,” – the motto of a 15 year-old boy Ansh Batra, a child with autism. Hailing from Gurugram, Ansh found his inner voice in brushstrokes. Within the space of a frame, Ansh tries to build a world that is undeniably unique and different from the world we live in. His canvas is his playground, he plays with colors and every stroke expresses his emotions. Though he cannot speak, his works hold blissful conversations on his behalf.

His vocabulary and language skills are very limited and impaired due to autism but as they say - if God closes one door, it shows light through other. Ansh, with his special needs, has found his calling in the world of Art .

Extremely hyperactive by nature, Art is what brings calmness to his life . A power house of energy Art/painting is what makes him sit at a place. An extremely stressed out Mother while trying out everything possible to help his son accidentally introduced him to colours 4 years back, and his journey started from there. With the help of mentors and teachers, Ansh was able to channelize his energy into beautiful shades and hues of his imagination.
