JOURNEY OF AN INSPIRING GOAN ARTIST

Meet Ankita Naik, a talented and self-taught artist who has carved a niche for herself in the world of art. From humble beginnings in Bicholim to honing her skills at renowned institutions, Ankita's artistic journey has been nothing short of remarkable. In this article, we delve into the life and works of this young Goan artist, exploring her experiences, triumphs, and the missing pieces that complete the puzzle of her inspiring story.

1. Early Life and Education

Ankita Naik's roots lie in the charming town of Bicholim, where she was born and raised. She attended Shri Shantadurga High School for her primary education and later moved on to Shantadurga Higher Secondary School for her secondary education. Her artistic flair began to take shape during her formative years, and it soon became evident that art was her true calling.

Ankita pursued her passion for art by enrolling at the prestigious Goa College of Art, where she specialized in portraiture during her four-year bachelor's program. Seeking further growth and knowledge, she decided to pursue a master's degree in fine arts at MIT University, Pune. Unfortunately, her pursuit coincided with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing her to complete her studies entirely online. This unexpected challenge did not deter her determination to excel as a fine art student.

During her time at MIT Pune, Ankita also undertook an enriching one-year internship under the guidance of sculptor Bharati Pitre in Pune, adding another dimension to her artistic skill set.

2. Discovering Art as a Passion

Ankita's initial inspiration came from her sister, igniting a spark of creativity within her. However, her journey soon transformed into a deeply personal exploration of self-expression, as art became her escape from the rigors of reality.
