Samridh Mukhiya is an artist from Nepal residing in Texas, USA. Born in the year 1987, he immigrated to the United States in the year 2011 to continue his education in Fine arts. He worked through many odds jobs experiencing the culture and varying perspective into the daily lives of the people, the economy, politics, and social agendas which has been the inspiration for his works. A majority of his art has been based on mental health and it's importance. He is on a mission to create works of art that are mantras of healing and hope.
On the new year of 2019, he moved to a small room in a house restarting his journey to work on art. After relocating here, he put his two weeks notice in, trading his job as a graphic designer for an opportunity to purse his passion in arts. He now perseveres working daily on his craft and taking up odd jobs to sustain his living, putting down one line at a time, each stroke drawing him closer to his dream.
