In a candid online video, artist and scholar of comparative mythology, Vidya Kamat lets us in on a small vignette from her life. "Honestly, I never set out to become an artist," she confesses. "I became an artist as an act of rebellion. After the 10th boards (I had scored very high marks), and everyone in the family knew what I would be, except me… so, I decided to take up fine arts, only because I wanted control over my own decisions." The artist goes on to speak about her art, and what spurs her creation, in the short nine-minute video.
