Biography

Shank
After completing his pharmacy studies in 2000 and finishing his thesis to obtain his doctorate in pharmacy in 2002, Shankar followed regular photography internships (shoots – Gérard Vallet – and B&W lab) from 2000 to 2009 (studio and outdoor shooting) – film and digital.

In 2004, he enrolled in oil painting classes with artist Catherine Bouyx in Bordeaux. Shankar finally took the plunge into a creative profession in 2008 by enrolling at the École de Condé (Créasud) in Bordeaux for a Master's degree in Applied Arts. He earned his BTS in Visual Communication in 2011.

He created a digipack CD (for Gloom band), various logos, posters, wedding invitations, business cards, and illustrations until 2014, when a job opportunity as a pharmacy manager brought him to Mayotte. He still had time to take oil painting classes for a few months before leaving: private lessons with the artist Valentin Caro in Paris's 13th arrondissement (from stretching a canvas on a frame to varnishing after painting).
