WELCOME

Welcome to my website! My name is Rajan. I’m a physics PhD candidate based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. I started linocut printmaking in 2020, and as a dedicated graduate student, I balance a rigorous academic schedule with my passion for creating art. Despite the demands of my studies, I make time to pursue my creative interests and produce works that explore the stunning beauty of the natural world. Whether in the lab or in my studio, my goal is to innovate and explore new ideas to create something truly unique. I am proud to be able to share my passion with you!

I have just launched this website where you can browse and purchase my artwork!

Each piece showcases my love for both the natural world and the scientific discoveries that help us understand it. My goal is to inspire others to appreciate the intersection of art and science and to spark a sense of wonder. Browse my collection to find one-of-a-kind pieces that will add a touch of inpsiration to your home, office, lab space, what have you!

This is all very new to me, and I make this time to do this outside my demanding work schedule as a graduate student. I appreciate your patience and welcome your feedback as I get the hang of this! That being said, I finally have everything in place to start carefully packaging and shipping these delicate prints to anyone who wants one. I’m very excited about this.

It is not much, but for now the scope of my ambition is to make my creative outlets pay for themself (even this feels like an enormous undertaking!). Thank you for visiting. Your interest and support is most welcome.

-Rajan
