Born on 1st June 1976 in the Maharastrian family of the Katke’s. Exposed to Art and Architecture as a child by his uncle. Pranay won his 1st Painting competition at the age of 6. His art skills were soon exposed to his art teachers in school and later in college who promoted him to take part in interschool and intercollegiate art competitions. After Secondary Education in 1994 he was enrolled in Rachana Sansad, school of art by his family. Though he was studying Interior design, under one roof he was exposed to Architecture, Advertising and Fine Art. He spent most of his time in the library understanding different forms, philosophies of design. He found inspiration from these books and the works of great masters like Salvador Dali, Picasso, Rembrant, Renoir, Frank L Wright, Larry Baker, Eisher and more. He was one of the bright students
in developing fresh concepts and mastered the freehand perspective technique. Which gave him freedom to sketch his thoughts without being hassled of technical equipment.
