Today we’d like to introduce you to SOUMYA SREERAM.
Hi SOUMYA, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Early Journey
My path began with a deep love for art and its ability to evoke emotion and connection. I started creating works that explored color, form, and storytelling, always with the intention of making art feel accessible and resonant for people from all walks of life.
VIBGYOR LIVE
This vision led me to found VIBGYOR LIVE, a platform dedicated to emotionally resonant art. Through it, I’ve hosted exhibitions, art shows, and workshops that invite people to experience creativity not just as spectators, but as participants. Each event has been a way to spark dialogue, reflection, and joy through the spectrum of artistic expression.
Expanding the Practice
Beyond the events, I’ve built an online store where my artworks are available to a wider audience. I also take on commissioned pieces, creating personalized works that carry unique meaning for individuals and families. These projects have allowed me to extend the reach of my art while keeping it deeply personal and emotionally grounded.
🌟 Today
Today, my journey with VIBGYOR LIVE continues to grow. Whether through exhibitions, workshops, or commissioned art, my mission remains the same: to use creativity as a bridge for connection, empowerment, and emotional resonance.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Challenges in the Early Days:
When I first started, one of the biggest struggles was simply being seen. Building visibility for my work meant countless hours preparing for exhibitions and art shows, often with limited resources and no guarantee of turnout. There were moments of doubt, wondering if the effort would resonate with anyone beyond myself.
Balancing Creativity and Sustainability:
Another challenge was finding the balance between pure artistic expression and the practical side of sustaining a career. Running workshops, setting up an online store, and taking on commissioned pieces required me to wear many hats — artist, organizer, marketer, and entrepreneur. It was overwhelming at times, but it taught me resilience and adaptability.
Emotional Struggles:
Art is deeply personal, so rejection or indifference can feel like a blow to the heart. There were exhibitions where the response was quieter than I hoped, or commissions that pushed me outside my comfort zone. Each of those moments tested my confidence, but they also shaped my voice and strengthened my commitment to VIBGYOR LIVE.
The Reward
Despite the struggles, every workshop where someone discovers their own creativity, every exhibition where a viewer connects with a piece, and every commissioned artwork that becomes part of someone’s life reminds me why the road — however bumpy — is worth walking.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
My Work
I am the founder of VIBGYOR LIVE, where I create and share original artworks inspired by the world around us. My paintings are sparked by everyday life — the colors of nature, fleeting emotions, and human experiences that often go unnoticed. Each piece is a reflection of how art can transform ordinary moments into something deeply resonant.
What I Specialize In
I specialize in acrylics and fluid art, using vibrant colors and layered textures to capture emotion and movement. My work often explores themes of identity, resilience, and connection, making each painting not just a visual but an emotional experience.
What I’m Known For
Through exhibitions, art shows, and workshops, I’ve built a practice that invites people to engage with art in meaningful ways. I’m also known for my commissioned pieces, where I create personalized works that hold unique significance for individuals, and for my online store, which makes my art accessible to a wider audience.
What I’m Most Proud Of
I’m most proud of the way my art has touched lives — whether it’s someone discovering their creative spark in a workshop, or a collector cherishing a commissioned piece that reflects their story. These moments affirm the purpose behind VIBGYOR LIVE: to make art a bridge between everyday life and emotional resonance.
What Sets Me Apart
What sets me apart is the authenticity of my process. My art is born from real-life experiences and emotions. VIBGYOR LIVE embodies this philosophy, offering not just paintings but immersive experiences that empower, heal, and connect.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
My family and friends have always been my first cheerleaders and strongest supporters, encouraging me from the very beginning. Over time, exhibition juries opened doors to new opportunities, and art collectors have admired and embraced my work, helping my journey grow and evolve.
