Vaz, also known as Jcvaz, is an independent contemporary artist from Chennai, who has been painting from the age of four. He says he is happiest when he is elbows deep in paint. He is self-taught and prefers non-conventional art forms such as neo-graffiti, photorealism and surrealism. His pieces are inspired by whatever catches his eye.
