Amruta Chimote

I am a socially aware independent illustration artist and writer. A lot of my work centers around feminism, mental health, and gay rights.

I would love to describe my understanding of the importance of Art in the ideas of some of the most preeminent philosophers: Aristotle considered Art as a medium of catharsis, which lets you vent all your pain and anger, so that the society gets only the good in you, which Iris Murdoch summed up in the belief that a society deprived of Art doesn’t survive much longer. Nietzsche so much as went on to claim that if God is dead, the only thing that could fill in the void that remained therewith is Art.
