After school, he pursued<strong>graphic design and did art<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>martial arts<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>yoga on the side very seriously<\/strong>.\u00a0It is after graduating with Graphic design that he took up painting as a profession.\u00a0In the last one year,since the age of 23,Shreyas has done close to 60 artworks ranging from A3 size to 16sq.ft canvases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He first got inspired to do martial arts like Kickboxing,Taichi andJiu Jitsu by watching\u00a0<strong>Bruce Lee<\/strong>\u00a0films. Very soon, he had also begun yoga under the guidance of\u00a0<strong>Mr. Jaigopal<\/strong>\u00a0from Satyanada yoga centre. Since Shreyas had no guidance for painting, he did whatever he could. He used the experience\u00a0from his other strengths like meditation and fighting to do art.
