DAMODAR MADGAONKAR is a Goan artist and sculptor, who started out as a commercial artist at a very young age. He was always of a creative bent and excelled in drawing and painting during his school days as he got guidance from his fine arts teacher Mangala Kamat. As Damodar dabbled in various forms of arts, he developed skills to create commercial art and started rendering his services to many top hotels in Goa. However, Damodar always wanted to turn into a full-time artist and joined PIED PIPER ACADEMY (founded by world renowned Goan artist Wilson D’Souza). Under the tutelage of Mr. D’Souza, he developed his own style — most of his works are based in the realm of realistic fantasy.
