Meet the talented 11-year-old artist, Gaurik Cheruku, whose artistic prowess extends beyond his years. When he’s not busy creating awe-inspiring art, Gaurik enjoys indulging in his favorite hobbies – Soccer and Basketball. With dreams of playing in the NBA, Gaurik’s passion for basketball emerged when he first moved to a new place and witnessed a friend showcasing his basketball skills.
What inspired you to start creating art?
“Many artists around me inspired me. My mom, my aunt – they have a very fine hand in arts. My mom gives me suggestions and helps me with my artwork. Another inspiration is my 4th grade teacher, Mr. White. He taught us about abstract art.”
Gaurik draws inspiration from those close to him, particularly his mom and aunt, who have fine artistic skills. His fourth-grade teacher introduced him to the world of abstract art, sparking his interest and setting him on a creative path.
Share your favorite project or artwork that you’ve created with Nimmy’s Art?
“One of my favorite artworks I made this year is The Halloween Fox project. Its medium is Gouache Paint, one of my favorites. The fox color that we have used made it bold and bright. The details are so fine that it makes it close to reality.”
When we asked him if he could trade places for one day with one of his paintings he also said he would trade places with his paintings. Imagining himself at an NBA match, he envisions enjoying the game up close, studying strategies, and soaking in the excitement.

If you were an art teacher, what fun subject would you choose for kids, and why?

What’s your top advice for young artists starting out?
“One top piece of advice would be to always practice whatever you learn. Things may look hard but try to follow the instructions and it will be easy. Do try to experiment with different art mediums. Art is fun, creating time for art with all your other subjects.”
Gaurik’s top advice for young artists is to practice consistently, follow instructions, and not be afraid to experiment with different art mediums.
