Founder’s Note​

Hey fellow creative,

I know that AI art is on top of your mind when thinking of digital art. Well trust me the reason I delayed the launch of our program is the explosion in AI images across the internet. My initial thoughts were – who would want to learn art anymore?

The initial few months I went through different emotions but most prominently the anger and frustration that machines were able to create in seconds what an artist learns over years and takes hours and sometimes days to create.

But one thing that dawned on me soon enough was that there was one thing that creating AI is never going to take away and that is the joy of creating art. Even though we can generate any image that we can imagine at the click of a button, creating art with our own hands with each little brush stroke is a joy we as artists crave for. 

Another aspect is relating to how people collaborate on projects – AI can become a tool but there will still be a human creating something that is appropriate. Who better than an artist who understand the basics of art.

Artma Creative Society was born from the community, when I started sharing my art on social media, several people started asking me how I create the artworks and I would answer queries over messages at first. Then I started creating content online to help those who wish to learn it in a simple manner back in 2019. 

I wish to help as many people as I possibly can, get really good at expressing themselves and enjoy the feeling of creating art that is humane.

The goal is outrageous and this is merely the first chapter.
I would love to have you with me on this ride.

With Love,


Venkatesh Paspureddi
