After dabbling in the publishing and advertising industries, Kuanth answered his calling and became a freelance illustrator in 2002. Kuanth loves old stuff with a history — flea markets are his favorite haunts for hidden gems and inspirations. He also appreciates all things handmade especially crafts passed down from generation to generation.

His "New World" Series is inspired by the recent pandemic outbreak, he imagined a world after a reset — it revives with bizarre-looking plants in all forms and shapes, seemingly menacing, but full of hope.

"What kind of a world were we living in? What does it show us during this pandemic？As the world shuts down with suspension of major industrial and human activities, pollutions — air, water and earth — are greatly reduced. Levels of harmful gases like carbon dioxide have dropped so much that air quality in many cities has improved significantly. Marine stress is alleviated as cruise liners and maritime activities came to a halt; seawater became cleaner without commercial contamination. The Earth does not need humans who created all those chaos."
