Enil Art disclosed this in an interview on The Day Show on Sunday, September 29.
“Eventhough you get creative block sometimes and you don’t want to do anything art, I find entering in ‘trotro’ rejuvenating, it’s like a warm up so I enter the troski, do these sketches and everyone is happy and it’s like I am hyped up and I get back to my studio and do whatever I have to do,” he told Berla Mundi.
Enil Art also opened up about the difficulties he faces during his random sketches in public transport vehicles – ‘Trotro’.
He said he maintains his focus and endurance while making the sketches in the face of the bumpy roads and the hustle and bustle of boarding commercial vehicles.
“You should see me struggling. It’s a very strenuous thing. It takes a lot of mental energy and focus to get the drawing right because the roads are bumpy and all that and you just have to concentrate,” he said on Sunday, September 29.
Enil Art has gained popularity for randomly sketching bus conductors (trotro mates) while in the commercial vehicles with videos of him in the process having circulated on social media.
