परिचय!
Back when I started, I used to go by Manish Artz, a name that felt like every other “artist handle” out there. It worked for a while, but it never really felt like me. My work was growing, my ideas were getting sharper, and I knew I needed an identity that matched the energy of what I was creating.
So on April 22, 2022, I rebranded myself as ILLUMATER a word born from Illustrator + Master, but also from the idea of “illumination.” Because that’s what art does it lights up ideas, moods, and worlds.
ILLUMATER stands for creativity that doesn’t hide behind trends; it creates them. It’s about turning visuals into experiences that speak, move, and stay.ILLUMATER stands for creativity that doesn’t hide behind trends; it creates them.

The logo carries that same spirit built from the Hindi letter “इ”, reshaped into a bold, minimal symbol. It represents my Indian roots meeting global design energy. The clean form and heavy shape show balance between structure and chaos the same mix I bring into my work, whether it’s branding, illustrations, or motion design.
What started as one person experimenting with ideas has now grown into a creative identity that merges design, art direction, and storytelling all under one name: ILLUMATER.
Every project, every artwork, every visual I create carries that signature bold, emotional, and unapologetically original.
ILLUMATER isn’t just a brand.
It’s a mindset to create fearlessly, to master your craft, and to light up whatever you touch.
