However, Krishna’s ascent to becoming a renowned 3D artist was far from effortless. His journey to establish his reputation and carve a successful career was a testament to his unwavering dedication. He triumphed in various esteemed competitions, garnering accolades and prizes that affirmed his exceptional talent. Notably, his work caught the attention of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who bestowed high praise upon him during the esteemed Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Krishna stressed the rising support from company owners, both small businesses and big corporations, who use this art form to advertise their services while highlighting the rising popularity of 3D art in India. He also proudly claimed that he was the first in India to write a book on 3D art, which is now being sold on several online shopping platforms.
In a heartfelt gesture aimed at nurturing the talents of budding artists, Krishna extends an inviting hand to aspiring creatives, warmly welcoming them to embark on a captivating journey through his official YouTube channel.
