Singing Sea Giants to Forest Spirits: Check out This Goa Based Artist’s Mesmerising World

From surrealism to daily objects, it’s amazing what inspires a creator to conjure up a mystical world within his or her artworks.

Just as amazing are the illustrations of Svabhu Kohli, a visual artist based in a tiny village in Goa.

With the natural world playing as his inspiration, the 26-year-old artist remains fascinated with its mechanics—a facet that one keeps finding embedded in each of his works.
