Where Art Became a Lifelong Calling

Celebration of Life is more than an animation studio—it is the culmination of a lifelong journey of curiosity, creativity, and craft. Founded by Aswin Manikandan, a passionate artist who discovered early on that art was his true calling, CL’s story began in the most unassuming way: From the earliest days, Aswin was captivated by the power of creativity. Growing up, his imagination was fueled by shows like Mad and Art Attack, and by the inspiring storytelling of History TV, Discovery, and National Geographic. On 8th-grade attempt at carving a soap carrot. Years later, a simple soap carving gifted to his father on a birthday would set the stage for a lifelong pursuit.

From that moment, Aswin’s passion for art began to flourish. What started as small commissions for soap carvings slowly grew into a community of enthusiasts and learners, with an Instagram page serving as the first window to a wider audience. Workshops in art studios, galleries, and colleges soon followed, helping Aswin cultivate both skill and connection.

As the studio evolved, Celebration of Life expanded its vision—moving from individual art projects to delivering design and animation solutions for businesses and creatives worldwide. Every project reflects our core philosophy: clarity, precision, and partnership. From the first big client to awards, and from local beginnings to international collaborations, each milestone shaped CL into a studio that transforms complex ideas into visuals that resonate, educate, and inspire.

But CL’s mission extends beyond animation. Through soap carving workshops, drawing, and online animation classes for kids, we aim to nurture creativity, share knowledge, and empower the next generation of artists. At Celebration of Life, we believe that happy clients and inspired learners are the heart of our journey, and every creation—be it a corporate animation, an explainer video, or a hands-on workshop—is a testament to that belief.
