Arnav Josh is a passionate artist based in Andover Massachusetts who dedicates his craft to celebrating the beauty and diversity of sharks. With a signature style that blends realism with more stylized elements, he creates striking portraits that capture the unique essence of each species. Through his vibrant and engaging artwork, he aims to foster a deeper appreciation for these magnificent creatures and inspire action to protect our fragile marine ecosystems, while countering the Hollywood myth of bloodthirsty killer sharks.
Arnav began drawing sharks in July 2024, and since then he has completed 25 digital portraits of different shark species, often taking requests from peers.
He is currently a rising junior at Andover High School who hopes to continue his artistic pursuits, eventually drawing all 557 species of sharks and compiling them in an art book. Regular updates and new artwork can be viewed on his website.
