Today in the world of social media, the talent of artists can never stay hidden. Be it producing music from scraps or mimicking a popular artist, talented people are seldom hidden in today’s digital world. Similarly, a man in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu has many talents.
Jarin Mathew, who originally hails from the Kudalur district in Tamil Nadu, has demonstrated various talents which include playing musical instruments, sketching, singing and writing books.
Jarin is especially skilled in painting and drawing and sketches anything in around three minutes. He can draw 30 types of paintings and can produce a sketch that can only be drawn with dots and squiggles. To showcase his talent, he drew a diagram of the Taj Mahal in three minutes on a chart using charcoal.
While interacting with News18, the artist showcased his painting with the use of different art forms. Initially, he displayed his painting of mandalas.
