Pradeep comes from the family of photographers in southern India which influenced his interest in the field of art at an early age. His training as a retouching & coloring artist for portrait photography inspired him to take art classes in his teens. His earlier pursuits included experimenting with a variety of mediums such as oil colors, water colors, oil pastels, air-brushed acrylic illustrations, color pencils & sculptures in different media. Pradeep keeps experimenting with a multitude of media influenced by many of his favorite great artists. Most of his art styles are inspired from images and patterns in nature.

His interest in computer graphics and animation influenced him to learn 3D computer modeling. He then shifted his digital creativity to constructing fine art utilizing a blend of cutting edge laser and computer graphics. He calls this process “Lasered Layers”. The 3D laser relief art consists of painstakingly assembled layers of intricately laser cut sheets of paper. The lasering process begins as black and white sketches on paper which are scanned and reduced to 2D vector art. This creation is cut on acid-free card stock using a fine laser beam. The laser cutting process adds dimension and shading to the edges. The texture of the paper and airbrushing adds beauty and color.
