About The Artwork
In tones of dust and dusk, a woman and child sit still. This is not just a moment, but a memory of love unspoken, of generations held gently in the folds of time.
About The Artist
I see my art as a journey of transformation where fragile materials, personal memories, and vibrant colors come together to tell stories that are both intimate and universal.
Much of my work begins with something as simple and delicate as an eggshell. I break it, not to destroy, but to rebuild, to give new meaning to what’s easily discarded. In many ways, that’s the heart of my practice: turning the fragile into something strong, textured, and full of life. Each shell, each stroke, becomes a quiet metaphor for the human experience broken yet beautiful, fragmented yet whole.
I work mainly with acrylic and mixed media, often allowing the material to guide the composition. I don’t begin with a strict plan. Instead, I respond to the canvas intuitively. The textures, shapes, and colors speak first; the titles and meanings emerge after. It’s a conversation between my inner world and the world outside, between tradition and experimentation.
Themes in my art often reflect rural life, cultural memory, and emotional rhythms. Growing up in India, I’ve always been drawn to the raw beauty of everyday life - its colors, rituals, and quiet poetry. These influences find their way into my landscapes, abstracts, and textured forms.
Beyond the studio, I’ve created large scale murals and installations in public spaces from airports and hotels to temples and town halls. These works are my way of bringing art into everyday life, of letting people live with and within the stories I try to tell.
