Amrit Pal Singh on Creative Sustainability at India Art Fair 2025
This February, the India Art Fair in Delhi welcomed Amrit Pal Singh, a top Indian 3D artist, as a guest speaker for a candid and energising session titled "Artistic Career: Building Sustainability." Known for his work as a 3D designer and visual artist, Amrit brought his signature honesty and clarity to the discussion, cutting through the noise with practical advice for emerging creatives navigating a rapidly evolving industry.
“Most Opportunities Are Not Given to You — They're Created by You.”
In front of a packed audience of students, young illustrators, and design professionals, Amrit emphasized a proactive mindset. "I see so many creatives without a website or a decent online portfolio getting sad about lack of exposure," he shared. “If you’re saying ‘I’m not good at marketing’, then learn it. It’s half the job. You’re only doing half your job otherwise.”
He addressed common frustrations voiced by the Indian creative community, including the notion that “India doesn’t pay well.” His response? “Then what’s stopping you from finding work internationally? Remote working is better than ever. Platforms like Behance, Contra, and Dribbble exist for a reason.”
🎯 No End Goal, Just Growth
Amrit Pal Singh, whose 3D art has reached audiences across the globe, underlined that being a digital artist today isn’t just about talent—it’s about persistence, adaptability, and building your own visibility. “There’s no end goal here. Most of your life as a creative person will be about experimenting, trying new things, and feeling like an underdog,” he said. “But who said that can’t also be fun—and financially stable?”
📲 Be a Creative and Be Seen
One of the most resonant moments came when Amrit tackled the excuse, “I’m a creative, not a content creator.”
“Then be creative about how you show your work. You don’t need a million followers. You just need the right ones—people who genuinely appreciate what you do.”
As a top Indian digital artist, Amrit’s own journey stands as proof that consistency and smart visibility go hand in hand. From designing iconic Toy Faces to speaking at international forums, he has steadily built a sustainable artistic career without chasing virality—just relevance.
🚀 The Underdog Advantage
He left the crowd with one of his most quotable truths:
“If you want opportunities, make them. If doors are closed, make a tunnel.”
