As a fluid artist, Pranal likes to play with bold colors that evoke a light healing energy. Using a unique method, Pranal hand pours and spins acrylic paints into one of a kind masterpieces. Not only does he create beautiful works of art, but he also offers classes to those who want to learn about fluid art. Some of his artwork will be displayed at The Arctic Art Gallery in Rhode Island and Tricera Art Gallery in Japan.
In his own words: "... fluid art definitely teaches me how to go with the flow. I used to be the one who loved a lot of control but fluid art has taught me to let go and life just got more beautiful. Discovering fluid art was a turning point; its organic, free-flowing movement is mesmerizing to watch and has a calming effect on me. I love how it takes on a life of its own and travels a path I could never have planned. "
For a limited production run, he has created 14 completely unique HANDLstick designs. Featuring mesmerizing mineral shimmers mixed with rich jewel tones and ocean-inspired blues.

Whether it be television in the 1970s, computers in the 1980s, or phones thereafter, Hirsch has documented our interconnectedness with screens in his art and this helped lead him to invent HANDL.

One day he was painting a picture while texting using a new large screen phone with the other hand and was immediately struck by the similarities of both actions. “In one hand, I was projecting my thoughts and feelings effortlessly on canvas with the brush and with the other, I was also projecting my thoughts and feelings into this little metal box- although with none of the flow and efficiency of the paint brush. I immediately felt this was a problem for me to solve.” Hirsch spent the next 8 months attaching all sorts of homemade constructions on his phone until one day, with a bunch of popsicle sticks held together with thumbtacks, tape and a rubber band, he had an epiphany and HANDL was born. “With HANDL, we replace that stressful grip on our devices with a feeling that our phones are an organic extension of our hands and fingers.”
