Renowned Artist and Founder of Oasis Art and Crafts Takes a Noble Initiative
In the world of art, where creativity knows no bounds, Sambedana Das Mohapatra has carved a niche for herself as a self-taught artist with a profound connection to the roots of Indian culture. Specializing in local art forms such as Pattachitra and Mandala, Mohapatra has not only showcased her talent in prestigious exhibitions and competitions but has also embarked on a mission to make a meaningful impact in the lives of underprivileged and differently-abled children.
As the founder of Oasis Art and Crafts, under the umbrella of the Oasis Creative Design Studio, Sambedana Das Mohapatra is on a journey to ensure financial independence for every underprivileged child. The studio’s main objective is to guide and nurture these young minds, empowering them to create unique home decor items that can be sold to provide financial stability.
At the heart of their mission is a desire to break the misconception that handmade artworks or products are exclusively for the elite. Oasis Creative Design Studio aims to challenge this notion by producing high-quality artworks at affordable prices, making art accessible to the middle class.
“We believe that art should not be confined to the realms of the privileged. Through our initiative, we want to create a platform where underprivileged and differently-abled children can not only generate income but also develop a passion for fine arts,” says Sambedana Das Mohapatra.
The studio is actively seeking collaborations with NGOs working with underprivileged youth, aiming to reach a wider audience and maximize their impact. By partnering with these organizations, Oasis Creative Design Studio hopes to provide a platform for these talented individuals to showcase their creativity and contribute to their financial well-being.
Furthermore, the Oasis team is also committed to promoting art therapy as a means of personal and professional development. With initiatives targeted at both students and corporate clients, the studio aims to demonstrate the therapeutic power of art in enhancing well-being and fostering creativity in various settings.
Sambedana Das Mohapatra‘s journey from a self-learned artist to the founder of Oasis Creative Design Studio reflects a deep commitment to social responsibility and a passion for preserving and promoting India’s rich cultural heritage. Through art, She is not only creating beautiful masterpieces but also changing lives and inspiring a new generation of artists.
