Unlike most five-year-olds, Vihaan has put up his first solo exhibition on mandala art at Parijat art gallery of Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur. On Saturday, he welcomed the art lovers to the opening of his exhibition, where he has displayed as many as 31 paintings, solely made by him.Vihaan with his mother Ritika SanghviOne of the artworks displayed at the exhibitionVihaan’s mother Ritika Sanghvi told us that he had been inclined towards art, colouring and music ever since he was four-years-old. “It all started with doodling followed by colouring and making compositions on paper. I didn’t enrol him in any art workshop. It is naturally coming to him from very little instruction,” she said.The Ganesha mandala is one of Vihaan's favourite artworkRitika further informed that even for mandala art, Vihaan didn’t join any art classes or workshop. “I had learnt mandala art at a workshop earlier and used to make mandalas at home, as a form of stress-buster. Initially, Vihaan used to observe my artwork. Soon, he started making mandalas with me. He has shown stages of progression in his work and attention to what he is making,” said the mother.Art lovers at the exhibitionVihaan has used different pencil colours, gelly roll pens and oil pastels in his artwork that he has displayed at the gallery.
