Dreams
Anantyam Foundation's founder discovered a remarkable artist from Odisha, Aashutosh Panigrahi, who was born with conjoined fingers. Despite holding an M.Phil in Art and achieving two Guinness World Records, Aashutosh faced ridicule for his disability and continued to live in anonymity and deprivation. We recognized that he needed more than just appreciation; he needed representation and sponsorship.
To address this, Anantyam Foundation collaborated with Anantyam Qalaa Art Gallery to fully sponsor and facilitate Aashutosh's month-long solo exhibition in Hyderabad. This beautifully curated event featured 25 stunning artworks and was made possible by the generous support of the Art Gallery. The solo preview attracted notable dignitaries, including Dr. G.N. Rao, Founder Chairman of L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, and Ms. Vijaya Ramam from their senior leadership team. The extensive media coverage that followed finally gave Aashutosh the voice he had always needed and deserved.
