Premraj began carving at the age
of five. The faces and small figures which he worked from soap and
avocado seeds indicated elemental desires waiting to become
manifest through him in later life.
In 2002 after spending a year in
silence, walking around the sacred mountain of Arunachala in
Southern India, his childhood creativity was re-kindled, and he
rediscovered skills lost since his teens. He spent six months of each of the next three years,
with the Japanese Master Meera, studying the use of acrylics and the
dynamic of painting.
The other half of the year he
worked as the assistant of Erika Mayer in her glass studio in Byron
Bay. This is where he learned the art of glass casting,
mould-making, creating "investments", firing and finishing.
He has been working at his Bali
in Bali for 3 year, starting with the reconstruction of an ols Yoglo
having a studio to work in! He has learning his own ways with the proses
off casting, and is ever excited by new discoverys to work with glass.
