CAxTroops: Crafting Stories with Every Stroke

For Trupti, art is a heartfelt journey that began in a classroom filled with stories (much more than a mere skill) . Inspired by a teacher who wove tales and encouraged students to draw their interpretations, she discovered the beauty of diverse perspectives. “We were 60 students, and everyone had a different take on the same story. It amazed me how wild and unique our imaginations could be,” she recalls.

Her creative spark is fuelled by the world around her. From the textures of tree bark to the unexpected symmetry in nature, Trupti finds inspiration in the simplest details. “Sometimes, just the shape of a tree intrigues me. Everything I observe starts connecting in my mind, and that’s when I begin to draw.”

While many artists thrive in digital spaces, Trupti holds a deep connection to traditional sketching. “The feel of a pencil on paper is therapeutic. Sketching in my notebook feels personal—almost like a mindful ritual.”

Her artistic journey also includes hosting exhibitions, driven by the joy of sharing her creations with others. “There’s something magical about galleries. They make art feel alive, inviting people to experience it up close.”

Trupti’s philosophy on art is beautifully liberating:

“Art is an expression. It doesn’t have to be perfect or realistic. Whether it’s a single line, a splash of colour, or even a dance move—that’s your art. It’s about how you feel when you create it.”

Through her illustrations for Creating Adam, Trupti invites you to see the world as she does—with curiosity, heart, and a touch of wonder
