Bhavna Minocha underwent training in commercial art and joined her family garment export business at 18. From production to working with a lot of designers in the business, she used her art by specialising in embroideries. In between, she did a series of huge art pieces on Ghazals (oil colours on canvas). Her interior designing project for ISKCON Temple in Delhi kindled her creativity, and she began selling art works of the masters in 2010. Several art exhibitions organised by her, including the art masters of Bengal, like Rabindranath Tagore, were a great hit. Then, eight years ago, she founded The Art Hub to train young people in the nuances of art. At The Art Hub, every student has a customised syllabus. The teachers at The Art Hub are themselves masters and graduates in visual arts from different universities in India. Sharmila Chand meets up with Ms Minocha and is amazed at how she literally lives and breathes art.
