Pavan Manyam

Pavan Manyam is a 14-year-old boy primarily on the autism spectrum — a professional swimmer, keyboard player and artist.

He started creating art for a sense of relaxation and stress relief. He draws deep inspiration from nature (animals) in creating art, and prefers vibrant, bold colours and the mandala dot style in his art forms.

He has participated in the Accessible Aesthetics: Art For All exhibition in February 2025.
