An etch to Sketch

We caught up with artist Mark Rathinaraj, who recently had a show at Sublime Galleria, and threw a set of kooky questions at him...

1 Your most embarrassing moment?

Usually when someone praises my work in front of others, I get all awkward and embarrassed — it literally leaves me red faced!

2 If you have to describe yourself in not more than five words?
Human, creator, hard worker, spiritual and lovable.

3 What is your wildest fantasy?

To sketch the Earth from space.

4 What are your biggest pet peeves?

When I create an artwork that I really love and I have to part from it

5 Name a classic you wouldn’t mind watching a million times?

Sundaram, a celebrated Tamil movie

6 Your idea of a great date?

Dinner with my wife on the beach.

7 Define art according to you?

Art is all about transferring what you wish to do.

8 A song that’s on the loop now?

Nenje Yelu... a popular Tamil number

9 If you were given 10 seconds to make an impression, what would you do?
I would sketch.

10 If you were to wake up as somebody else, who would it be and why?
I would wake up as my father so that my family could have him back and be able to live in his presence again.
