At that tender age, we are less bothersome and carefree with our thoughts. As we grow old, very few can achieve the artistic feat and rest of us choose a life of a steady income which support us in the long run. How many of us can really convert our passion and hobby into a profession? Yes, there are people who born with unique talent and, Speed Painter, Vilas Nayak is one of them.

The Quickest Speed Painter
His speed painting session is just not painting but it is a blend of music connecting the art. Every picture he paints, is connected to some form of music.
