About Me - Sahil Barmate
I didn’t grow up thinking I’d become an artist.
But somewhere along the way, it happened.
It started small – drawing for fun, sketching for school events, painting here and there. Nothing big. Nothing fancy.
But people started noticing. And slowly, I started taking it seriously.
At one point, I was painting murals inside anganwadis (government preschools) in rural villages. No spotlight. No luxury. Just me, a brush, a wall, and a deadline. I wasn’t thinking about “building a brand” – I was trying to get better.
I’ve also done things most artists would probably never mention on a portfolio.
Temporary tattoos at funfairs.
Wall painting gigs where people barely looked at me, let alone respected the work.
Portrait commissions. Sketching with strange materials.
Working with smoke, injections, even fire – just to experiment with what art could feel like.
None of it was glamorous.
But all of it shaped the artist I am today.
Somewhere down the line, I started teaching. Not in big halls or design schools – just my own way, my own space.
And guess what? Students came. Not because I had degrees hanging on the wall, but because I was teaching something that actually made them better.
Real skill. Real structure. Real progress.
Some of them were hobbyists who just wanted to explore their creative side.
Others were serious – preparing for advanced art, exams, or pushing toward a career.
I taught both.
Because I know what it’s like to just love making things – and also what it’s like to want to be great at it.
Then came the book.
As I went deeper into understanding how color actually influences people – not just in painting but in design, branding, emotions – I realized nobody was really explaining it in a way that made sense.
So I wrote Decoding Color Psychology.
Not for scholars. Not for textbook readers.
For creators. Designers. Marketers. Artists. People who use visuals to communicate.
It’s now in the hands of people across industries – not because I marketed it like crazy, but because it works. It actually gives people clarity.
I’ve taught students from all kinds of backgrounds – some from top colleges, others from no background in art at all.
I’ve sold paintings internationally. I’ve been featured on art podcasts. I’ve created my own offline mentorship program.
And most of it… happened because I stuck to the basics: keep creating, keep improving, and keep it real.
If you’re still reading this…
You’re probably not here just to scroll and leave.
You’re here because something about this connected with you.
Maybe you’re just getting started.
Maybe you’ve been creating for years and feel stuck.
Or maybe you just want to finally learn art the right way – without the jargon, without the ego, without the “one-size-fits-all” teaching.
Whatever the case… welcome. You’re in the right place.
