Let your creativity shine with Adobe Express this Diwali
Diwali, the festival of lights, is a time when families come together to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.
Just as the clay lamps (deepas) illuminate homes across India, Adobe invites everyone - regardless of their design skills — to let their creativity shine this Diwali.
This year, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on four unique creators whose personal stories reflect the true spirit of Diwali — family, tradition, and the power of light. Each creator draws from their own experiences and cultural roots to inspire their work, from cherished memories with loved ones to the vibrant energy of the festival.
The stories of Satyam, Pearl, Manali, and Vimal remind us that creativity knows no boundaries. Check out how they’re using Adobe Express to bring the spirit of Diwali’s radiance to life.
Through their journeys, we hope to encourage others to find their own creative spark with Adobe Express.
Satyam Bhuyan: A tribute to mother’s love
For Satyam, the roots of his creativity run deep in the colourful traditions of his childhood. “The person who inspired my creativity is my mother,” he shares.
Every Diwali, his mother’s intricate rangolis were more than just designs; they were expressions of emotion. This year, Satyam plans to pay tribute to her through his art, crafting a piece that captures their special bond with colour and patterns.
“Her art was simple but had a big impact. She planted a seed of creativity in me.”
-Satyam Bhuyan
Using Adobe Express, Satyam is now able to bring that creativity to life, creating visually stunning designs that reflect his mother’s influence.
With its customisable templates, he effortlessly blends vibrant colours and patterns, transforming personal memories into works of art that resonate with a wider audience.
Pearl D'Souza: Light from family
Pearl D'Souza’s artistic journey as an illustrator and visual artist is a testament to the love and encouragement she has received from her parents. “They took this anxious kid and found the light she didn’t know she had,” Pearl reflects.
This Diwali, she’s using Adobe Express to create a heartfelt card that symbolises her gratitude for their unwavering support. With vibrant marigold graphics and cherished photographs, Pearl aims to bridge the distance that separates her from her family.
“I hope this greeting gives you a little extra love and light this year.”
-Pearl D'Souza
Her vibrant illustrations celebrate not just her artistic style but the relationships that shape her creativity.
Manali Jain: Capturing moments
For Manali, her passion for travel photography blossomed under her father’s encouragement and his adventurous spirit has always been a guiding light. “He loves exploring new places and meeting new people,” she reminisces.
As an expression of gratitude, this Diwali, she aims to create a unique greeting with Adobe Express that reflects their shared moments during the festive season.
“Your support and guidance shine brighter than any diya.”
-Manali Jain
With every photograph, she captures the essence of celebration, making memories that last a lifetime.
Vimal Chandran: Inspired by youth
Vimal draws inspiration from his young nephew, who has helped him rediscover the wonder of creativity with fresh eyes.
“He makes all these weird poses in front of the camera,” Vimal laughs. In his Diwali tribute, Vimal plans to showcase the unique poses and expressions of his nephew, capturing the essence of their bond through photography. By blending personal elements with Adobe Express, Vimal aims to express love and gratitude in a heartfelt way.
“Every small thing, he observes carefully with his curious eyes. He inspires me to look at the world in a new way.”
-Vimal Chandran
Through his lens, Vimal captures the familiar with fresh eyes, celebrating the beauty found in everyday moments.
