Artist • Animator • Director • Founder, RedGod Studios

I was born in 1983 and grew up in Payyanur, a small town in northern Kerala. As a child, I wasn’t interested in books or sports — I just loved to draw. That love stayed with me. I left school early and decided to follow my heart. I joined fine arts college and chose painting and drawing as my path.

In 2003, I entered the world of animation. Over the years, I’ve worked as a character animator on films, series, games, and commercials — including time at DreamWorks Animation. Animation gave me a new way to tell stories, and I learned how powerful images can be when they move with emotion.

Later, I started my own studio — RedGod Studios, based in Kerala. It began with a simple goal: to tell honest, meaningful stories from where I come from. We’re a small team, but we care deeply about what we make.

My first film as a director is Blu’s — a short animated film about nature, memory, and silence. The idea came to me many years ago, and it stayed inside me until I finally brought it to life. It’s a very personal film, made with artists from RedGod Studios. It speaks more through feeling than words.

Alongside animation, I continue to paint. I love capturing the light and shadow of everyday life — faces, trees, small corners of the world. Painting slows me down and reminds me where I began.

This website is where I share my work — my paintings, videos, and the journey I’ve taken as an artist and director. Thank you for visiting. I hope something here speaks to you.
