“Like most Asian children, while growing up, I felt like I had to be a doctor or engineer. I think there comes a point when you can't do without expression, and you just feel so suffocated. It's like reaching for air, for oxygen. And art was that for me. And I felt there was no other goal.” Indu Antony is an artist through and through, despite not studying art from the outset. She studied medicine for her undergraduate degree, and chose to complete it before getting her full oxygen supply, as she puts it, by pursuing her various art forms.
