Smruti Nayak

I am Smruti Nayak, a prolific artist from the heritage-rich state of Odisha, India. After earning my MFA from an Indian university, I embarked on a journey in Art and Design—one that has shaped my life’s work and passion. Today, I serve as the Creative Director & Founder of I Am Artist and Creative Minds India, yet at my core, I remain an artist first. I founded "I Am Artist" (International Awareness Movement for Artists) to create a global platform where talent meets opportunity and vision finds its audience. Over the years, it has grown into a vibrant hub, housing an extensive collection of contemporary paintings from across the world. At its heart, I Am Artist is dedicated to nurturing and promoting emerging artists—those whose voices and visions deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated. As a curator and jury member for numerous national and international art events, I have had the privilege to engage with extraordinary talents and ideas from diverse cultures. My mission remains the same: to inspire, to innovate, and to champion artistic excellence across borders. Designation: Founder
