Founder and principal architect of Studio Atiniv in Bangalore, Vinita Kumari believes online platforms are undeniably important in the digital era — e-galleries make it easier for a range of people to buy art, and it becomes extremely convenient. She also feels that to promote art awareness, it is important to start with schools and then perhaps tackle tourist spaces, since this is where a lot of people tend to congregate. For Vinita, when art goes onto a blank wall, the space itself communicates an emotion. She says the art we see in galleries influences us and gives us hope, and they also manifest the culture and history of our country.
