Nayan and Venus Art

Venus is an illustrator and her partner Nayan is a furniture and interior designer. Together they make hand painted miniature paper cut artworks and accessories. Paper art was their childhood love. They both used to make a lot of paper crafts as young children and did their higher studies in art & design. They both started their career together as miniature model makers. After working in the industry for some time, they started their Studio (NV illustration) in December 2015. Their first artworks in paper cut were miniature paper jewelry and display pieces. Then they started making more detailed dioramas and layered artworks in paper. They have continued to explore different possibilities in paper since than and have always tried to challenge themselves with more detailed and miniature art.

He was a founding member of the Antagonist Art Movement, a New York City-based group of artists, writers, and musicians who promoted work by up-and-coming talent between 2000 and 2011. Ethan was the recipient of the Acker Award for Visual Arts in 2017. He was also the creator and editor-in-chief of Psycho Moto Zine, which has been in publication from 1988–present. He received his B.F.A. in Film with honors from the School of the Visual Arts and his masters in Media from the New School.
