TitleStillness in War

MediumAcrylic and Black Pen

About I am Tina. I am studying in the tenth grade. I have been painting since I was three. I particularly enjoy acrylic and oil painting. Along with that, I also craft. I have published two books: a poetry book and a short story book. I have also won a couple of awards in the arts field.
This painting shows peace as an inner sanctuary that endures amid surrounding violence and chaos. A calm figure in a white dress meditates at the centre. The dark scene in the background shows armies using different war methods like elephants, horsemen, spears, swords, guns and nuclear blasts. Everything may be a progression of weapons, but it leads to destruction. The humans are faceless or hollow-eyed to depict the absence of individuality and consciousness. The centre figure remains still and balanced despite the imbalanced and chaotic people. This juxtaposition tells one to keep calm in life’s storms and leads to the path of enlightenment and inner peace. The flowers, a contrast to the aggression, show resilience and persistence of life in a battle.

MediumAcrylic & watercolour

About Myself Isha Pandey of class XII. My school name is Durgapur Mamc Tounship Modern High School. I love to do various types of drawing, and my drawing course has also been completed. I mean, I completed the 7th year from the Suro Bharati Board Charuchandra Art Centre.
For the topic "In search of inner peace", I drew this picture because I wanted something different. Let me explain:- The woman’s calm yet intense eyes can symbolise the inner struggle and the silent search for peace. The traditional attire (red saree, bindi, jewellery) may represent cultural identity and how inner peace is often linked with reconnecting to roots. The contrast of bright red (symbol of passion/turbulence) and the serene face can reflect the journey from external chaos to internal calm. I want to present it with the idea that she is searching within herself, beyond external beauty and tradition, to find true peace

TitleInner Peace

MediumOil on Canvas

About My self Mayuresh Rajendra Adhav, studying in grade 9th at Fravashi Town Academy. I love painting and I paint in various mediums like soft pastel, charcoal, watercolour, oil and acrylic. Painted thousands of paintings, and I wish to study further in Painting BFA & MFA from JJ School of Art, Mumbai.
This oil painting,g done by me, Mayuresh Rajendra Adhav, beautifully captures the essence of Inner Peace through a serene and spiritual portrayal of Jesus Christ. The composition depicts Jesus seated quietly beside the wooden cross inside a softly lit chamber. Two white pigeons, one resting on the cross and the other ascending towards the divine light, symbolise purity, faith and the soul's liberation. This artwork radiates calmness and introspection where light becomes a metaphor for hope and divine connection, through gentle brushstrokes, balanced tones, and subtle play of light and shadow. It reflects the understanding that true peace lies within surrender, faith and silent strength.

About My name is Prachi Kharkar, and I am currently studying at VNIT Nagpur. I am a passionate Mandala Artist, and I also sell my original mandala artwork.
The Blue Mandala is a direct visual metaphor for the pursuit of Inner Peace. The deep blue hue embodies calmness and a settled mind. Its creation through dot-art demands the very patience and focused concentration required for mindfulness, symbolising the deliberate, gradual building of peace represented by its concentric layers. The central point signifies the "quiet core" or essential stillness within l. Functioning as a visual anchor, the artwork offers a "visual sanctuary" that quiets the chaos of thoughts, guiding the viewer to profound tranquillity and well-being. This paragraph is short and uses strong language to make sure all points, colour, process, layers, centre, and impact are covered effectively

MediumAcrylic Colours on Watercolour Paper of Fine-line Detailing and Pen Work.

About I am a little artist. I read in class 10th. And my little artwork is only for you. If you choose me, I am very glad to you.
his artwork is a vibrant depiction of Goddess Saraswati, created using acrylic colours on watercolour paper. The painting represents prosperity, purity, and divine energy in search of peace. The purpose of this artwork is to express devotion and to capture the calming presence of the goddess through bright and detailed visuals. The colour scheme has been chosen very thoughtfully. The golden-yellow background symbolises light, hope, and spiritual radiance, while the deep blue lower section reflects peace, stability, and protection. Together, these colours create a balanced and powerful atmosphere around the central figure. The goddess is shown seated on a lotus, which signifies purity even in difficult surroundings. The lotus also represents beauty, strength, and the ability to rise above challenges. The detailed borders and small decorative patterns are inspired by traditional Indian folk art, which adds cultural richness to the painting. Each motif and design has been created patiently with fine brushes to highlight the intricate craftsmanship. The use of red, pink, and orange shades in the flowers and ornaments brings warmth and sacredness to the artwork. The process of making this piece required multiple layers of acrylic paint to achieve opacity and vibrancy. The artist focused especially on the facial features and jewellery to bring out the divine expression and graceful charm of Goddess Saraswati. The intention behind the artwork is not only to show artistic skill but also to share positivity and blessings with the viewer. This painting reflects the artist’s belief in peaceful devotion, creativity, and cultural tradition. It aims to inspire hope, peace, and prosperity in anyone who observes it.
Thank You.

TitleIn Search of Inner Peace

MediumWater Colour

About This striking, predominantly blue artwork captures a profound moment of meditation and serenity, embodying the theme "In Search of Inner Peace."
The central image is the silhouette of Gautam Buddha, seated peacefully beneath a large, dark, and protective tree. This quiet setting, under a luminous night sky, perfectly illustrates the truth that to gain peace, we should meditate at a quiet and solitary place, much like the Buddha achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
The deep blue palette conveys tranquillity and introspection, emphasising the idea that we can attain peace only at a peaceful place, both externally in nature and internally within our minds. The text on the right, "Gautam Buddha's Teachings for Inner Peace, Life Lessons from Buddhist Philosophy," reinforces the spiritual and philosophical foundation of this quest for stillness. The overall scene is a powerful visual reminder of the path to inner quietude through mindfulness and quiet contemplation.

About This picture is all about finding inner peace.
In the middle, we see Lord Buddha sitting calmly and meditating. He has a bright, glowing circle around his head. This shows that we should meditate to get inner peace and feel bright and peaceful inside, just like him.
Around the Buddha, there are many hands, eyes, and faces. They look worried, confused, or like they are talking and shouting. These parts show the noise and distraction of the outside world, and how much our minds usually think.
The picture tells us that to stop all the confusion and find the light like the Buddha, we need to calm down our thoughts. Peace can be attained in a thoughtless state of mind, where all the worries and noise disappear, and we can just sit quietly.

About This drawing is about "In Search of Inner Peace".
You can see a calm Buddha-like face on the left, showing deep peace. On the right, there are two hands in a praying or greeting position (Namaste), which means being respectful and thankful.
The big flower (like a lotus) and the Mandala circles around it show how the mind connects with nature and positive thoughts. The message is that when we focus on the good and count our blessings, like the hands are doing, the inner peace that the Buddha faced will naturally blossom in our own hearts. It reminds us that true peace starts with being aware of all the good things we already have

About The theme of this drawing is "In Search of Inner Peace". This artwork beautifully shows that instead of getting caught up in worries and troubles, we should actively recognise and appreciate our blessings. The calm face of the Buddha and the centred, thankful hand gesture symbolise how our mind can become steady and serene. The large, intricate Mandala circle and the decorative elements show the resulting beauty and clarity of a mind that is focused on gratitude. This image serves as a powerful reminder that true inner calm and beauty begin when we choose to "Count your blessings, not your troubles."

TitleIn Search of Inner Peace

MediumWater Colour

About This drawing is used to convey that the search for inner peace or meditation is represented as a journey.
A bright yellow path and a connecting wooden bridge are depicted winding through the lush green landscape. This visual symbolises the forward movement and exploration inherent in seeking calmness, with the bridge representing a crucial connection or transition point on the journey. The expansive blue sky and the green foliage are used to establish a tranquil and natural setting, suggesting that peace can be found by connecting with the serenity of nature.
Small, colourful houses are placed peacefully within the hills, surrounded by large trees. These structures are shown as quiet refuges where contemplation and rest can occur, away from the chaos of daily life. Ultimately, the entire scene is arranged to show that the journey, while possibly long, includes overcoming obstacles (the bridge) and leads to a state of profound peace.

TitleIn Search of Inner Peace

About This artwork beautifully illustrates the connection between the pursuit of Inner Peace (the theme) and the achievement of World Peace. The drawing is dominated by the global peace symbol placed over the Earth, which is encircled by a ring displaying diverse country flags and major religious symbols (such as the Om, the Cross, and the Star and Crescent). This vibrant ring instantly sends a message of global inclusion. Further reinforcing this idea of universal harmony, a white dove carrying an olive branch flies across the image, while two hands are clasped together in a handshake below. All these elements—the united symbols, the dove, and the handshake—work together to deliver the powerful, overarching message written on the ribbon: WORLD PEACE. The artwork ultimately conveys that lasting peace is achieved when all countries, cultures, and faiths come together in unity and friendship.

About The drawing, titled "Freedom to Fly," features a white dove that carries a message of love and trust rooted in faith. It reminds us that peace and tranquillity are not distant goals, but rather feelings that originate from within us. When our hearts are filled with kindness, and our gaze holds love, and we reach out to others with goodness, life begins to blossom with peace. This artwork illustrates how every step driven by hope guides us toward a world where the mind is calm, the surroundings are pure, and every breath is full of tranquillity. This journey is precisely what the theme "In Search of Inner Peace" represents.

MediumOil Pastel

About The drawing is a striking visualisation of the theme, "In search of Inner Peace." It features a dark silhouette of a figure sitting calmly in a meditation pose, centred against a background of intensely vibrant colours depicting a colourful sky and distant horizon, possibly at sunrise or moonrise. This strong contrast between the stillness of the meditating figure and the dramatic, chaotic beauty of the outside world powerfully represents the search for calm amidst life's intensity. The student's accompanying message makes the intention very clear, stating: "If life is to be made happy, then Yoga must be embraced in every situation." The overall message of the artwork is that genuine happiness and true peace are not found in the external world's colourful chaos, but by looking inward and practising stillness and meditation (or Yoga).

MediumAcrylic Paint

About I am a 16-year-old self-taught artist from Hyderabad, India. What began as a way to fill in the gaps during the pandemic became a disciplined practice and a deep passion for artistic communication. Through my work, I aim to capture the essence of my life and experience, translating them into digestible visual interpretations that remain open to individual meaning. By encouraging interpretation, I hope to spark interest, dialogue, and reflection.
I sought to capture the beauty of the Indian mountains through the trek I completed at Draupadi Ka Danda. Beyond the challenge, these journeys became spaces for inward reflection, marking personal transformation from initial trepidation to quiet assimilation into the rhythm of climbing. In the stillness of the ascent, I came to understand that the summit is not defined by the outcome but the journey itself. By documenting the serenity of Indian mountain ranges, I aim to disseminate the sense of calm they offer, fostering appreciation and understanding of the environment that stimulates introspection.

MediumSoft and Oil Pastel

About I am a self-taught artist from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, currently completing my schooling at Acme Public School. My artistic journey began independently, driven by curiosity and consistent practice rather than formal training. I primarily work with charcoal, pencil colours, and pastels, and I do not practice painting. At the age of 15, I took my first online art class, which marked an important step in refining my skills and understanding of art. Looking ahead, I plan to pursue a graduation in Fine Arts (BFA) to gain professional expertise and further strengthen my artistic practice, with the goal of building a serious and disciplined career in the field of art.
This piece explores the transition from external chaos to internal stillness. Using a blend of soft and oil pastels, I’ve juxtaposed a turbulent urban storm with the serene harmony of nature. The central figure represents the human spirit as a cosmic bridge, undisturbed by the noise of the city and rooted in the tranquillity of the earth. By placing a glowing lotus at the foundation and a spiral at the heart, I aim to show that inner peace is an active, grounded energy that allows us to remain centred regardless of our environment.

I used the dark wall and the messy, overlapping handwriting to represent the mental noise and the pressure of expectations that can sometimes feel overwhelming. In the middle of this, I painted an easel that acts like a window to a different world, and chose to paint Shri Krishna in a nature setting because, to me, spirituality and nature are the best ways to find stillness. I also added two small frames, one with an aeroplane to show dreams for the future, and a compass to show that finding inner peace helps you stay on the right track.My goal was to show that even when life feels crowded with work and stress, you can always create a peaceful space inside your own mind.💙

About My name is Aarna Ranjit Sharma. I live in Amravati, Maharashtra. I study in Class 9 at Edify School, Amravati. I am 15 years old.
This artwork captures a moment of stillness along a sacred river, where time seems to slow down. In the foreground, a solitary figure sits quietly, draped in saffron, facing the vast expanse of calm water. There is a sense of pause here, of reflection, surrender, and inner dialogue. Across the river, the city rises in layered tones of earth and stone. Temples, old houses, steps, and spires stand close together, telling stories of faith, daily rituals, and generations that have lived by the river’s rhythm. Boats drift gently, adding life without disturbing the calm, symbolising the ongoing flow of people, prayers, and time. The soft washes of green and muted blues in the water balance the detailed architecture, creating harmony between chaos and calm. This work is not just a cityscape; it is a quiet conversation between the human soul and a place that has witnessed countless such moments. It invites the viewer to pause, breathe, and simply observe, much like the figure seated by the river.

About Joan Miro, a Spanish Painter once said, I like to apply colours like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music. And that is exactly how I would describe what I enjoy the most. I have been spreading the love for Art through local community service in my city. I enjoy spending time with elderly people who love to do Art with me. I am also a voracious reader, a prolific writer and a national-level swimmer.
J.R.R. Tolkien depicted Hobbit life through his books. The iconic round door for Hobbit holes was a reflection of the simple life led by Hobbits, with a focus on community living and a connection with nature. Thus, the Hobbit door symbolises inner peace to me as it is representative of the door to mindful living practises like slowing down and savouring the moment to attain inner calm. This is in direct contrast to our current lives, where mental peace does not exist and an attitude of self before others takes precedence. By embracing a Hobbit life, we can promote emotional well-being and enjoy the journey of life, free from the anxieties of the modern world.

About I am a very curious person, as I believe knowledge brings change, and the art of any form has the biggest impact. To express yourself, your opinions, and your imagination was something we often hear as children, but forget when it is the most important principle in life. I believe in creating things that are limitless, and fashion, painting, and designing are some of my best strengths that help me to do so.
Through this work, I want to reveal that the process of creation itself is a form of inner peace. By weaving together the intricate patterns of mandala art, the purity of the lotus, and the stillness of meditation, I immerse my soul in the sacred vibration of the Gayatri Mantra. “ Art is not merely a product; it is the refuge where the artist finds peace.” This work is a visual reminder of my profound realization: peace is not always found at a destination, but often gradually emerges through the process of art creation ( whatever you specialise in ) or while wandering the paths of life. It is a constant, rhythmic search. This image is a testament to those quiet moments of discovery where the artist’s hand and soul finally meet in perfect harmony.

The medium used in this artwork is “Toot ka Yaad”, which represents broken memories, past experiences, and deep self-reflection.

About I am a student of class 11th with the commerce stream with computer science. My vision for my career is to do something in the field of creating, with my interest in painting and portraiture. I feel creativity is never-ending, and imagination is limitless.
Sometimes in search of inner peace, you just need to set alone near the true beauty,y forgetting the world's negativity and tension. The view from the boat house in Dal Lake of a beautiful evening signifies that, like the sky changes its colour sometimes cool, sometimes warm, and sometimes dark, but each phase has its own significance and beauty. Similarly, life also has different phase sometimes cool, sometimes warm, and sometimes dark, but each phase is significant to experience life witha lot of memories. Like a boat always balances itself to survive, similarly, we need to face all situations with inner peace to maintain balance in life

About Hello, my name is Peehu. I am studying in class 10 Mankapur (Gonda) Fatima Inter College. I am 15 years old. I have an elder brother. My mother's name is Seema Arora. My father's name is Ajay Arora. My brother's name is Aryan Arora. He was studying in class 8. He is 14 years old. In my free time, I love playing and drawing. My favourite food is sarso ka saag or maki ki roti. In our school, I participate in every competition. I want to become a CA.
I love mandala art. My interest in drawing has increased because it helps me with stress, makes people smile, and I can control my anger. I can list a variety of careers that leverage drawing skills, such as graphic design, architecture, illustration, concept art, and fashion design. I can provide links to online courses (like those on Udemy or YouTube channels) and platforms like Behance for showcasing work or finding tutorials.
