Kmotion aka Puks



I am Puks, a digital artist from India currently based in Bangalore. My creative practice transforms the mundane into the extraordinary. With roots in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, I draw inspiration from the in-between moments of everyday life, instances of connection, friendship, and quiet urban spaces to create immersive digital art.
My journey into animation has been unconventional. While studying at the National Institute of Design (India), I was initially advised against pursuing the medium. Still, I forged my own path, moving between sketchbooks and 3D software, resisting the rigidity of the traditional animation pipeline. The structure often felt too limiting, as though it might stifle the spontaneity and intuition of my work. I believe an artwork should remain open to change until the very last frame. Though I always knew I wanted to create animation, I never aligned with the frame-by-frame methodology. Instead, I found a way to work around it while keeping the essence alive, animation became the branch I clung to in order to carve my own path.This non-linear approach has allowed me to create art that feels both intuitive and deeply personal. For me, art has always been more than craft. It has been a refuge through personal loss, a way to process memory, and ultimately, a form of independence.

I began my professional journey in 2018 with smaller projects in poster design, lyric videos, cover art, and music videos, gradually evolving from freelance work into a more defined artistic practice. It was during the pandemic that I immersed myself in Blender 3D and discovered a way to express my art to the world. Over the past few years, I have independently built a career that is now beginning to step into the gallery space.
