My name is Devika Chandrababu Mahajan and I am an artist, architect, illustrator and surface pattern designer (not particularly in that order) living in Punjab, India.

I have always loved painting and in late 2018 I took a huge leap of faith, put a stop to my architecture career and started making art hoping to make it a full time job. Thus, The Artsychoke was born in a little corner of my room. Today my little ‘studio’ still remains the same but The Artsychoke has grown into a brand creating artwork for a wide range of products like tech accessories, clothing, home décor, stationery etc.

In addition to selling original paintings, I license my art through print- on –demand websites like Society6, Redbubble and Teepublic.

I love architecture and nature and you'll find those as the inspiration for most of my art.

I mostly stick to two styles – quirky playful like some of my architectural illustrations and intricately detailed like my floral patterns or traditional Kerala mural paintings.

I keep finding things all around me that pique my interest and hence I am constantly exploring and experimenting with new styles, techniques and mediums.
