"When I sit down at a painting, everything else disappears, like the noise, anxiety, the rest of the world, it just goes out the window." - Murugiah

In this episode, artist Murugiah discusses his journey from studying architecture to becoming a multidisciplinary artist. 
He shares his struggles with self-doubt, the pressure to constantly improve, and the challenge of finding his authentic artistic voice. Murugiah talks about his transition from digital to physical art, his love for cinema, and how he balances commercial work with personal projects.
