About

Devon Arora is a classically trained artist, illustrator, and educator whose work blends academic technique with a contemporary sensitivity to light, mood, and narrative. He began painting in his late teens as a form of personal healing, later studying traditional drawing and painting in the realist tradition.

Influenced by a wide range of artists—from the academic refinement of Frederic Leighton to the atmospheric dynamism of Craig Mullins—Arora creates quiet, narrative-driven paintings that explore themes of solitude, memory, and the beauty of everyday moments. His experience as both an illustrator and teacher informs his clear visual language and deep commitment to craft. Drawing from personal experiences—including caring for a mentally ill family member—his work invites reflection and emotional connection through simple, honest imagery.
