I’m a professional artist and have been painting for more than 25 years. As an artist I paint in many mediums like Watercolour, Acrylics, Oils, Charcoal and Pastels. While I paint in many mediums, am completely in love with watercolour for the various qualities like freedom, spontaneity and the ability to keep surprising. I’m equally comfortable with painting various subjects like Landscapes, Cityscapes, Waterscapes, Portraits, Cartoons and Caricatures. I believe unlearning is an essential step to learn which is done by sharing my learning and experiences through Offline and Online Painting workshopsfor budding and Profeesional artists. In my creative journey, I have received notable recognitions in various competitions in India and abroad. I have been regularly exhibiting my works through Solo and Group exhibitions in India, Italy, UAE, Thailand and my paintings are in the collection of many private individuals in India and abroad.

About the Artwork :
Holy dip at Banaras Kashi –
This watercolour painting encapsulates the deep spiritual atmosphere depicting pilgrims taking a holy dip in the sacred river Ganaga at Kashi, Banaras.
The foreground of the painting shows the gentle flow of the Ganges with the ripples painted with soft shades of blues creating an inviting pattern capturing the play of natural light.
The pilgrims standing in the waist-deep water in the river performing their sacred rituals stands out as the focal point with some partly immersed in the river, while others seen cupping water in their hands.
The ghats of Banaras forms the backdrop, with their distinctive stone steps and the temples and structures lining the ghats exhibiting the beauty of the whole place..
In the quietude of this moment, the painting aims to convey the profound spirituality, the timeless rituals, and the deep connection between the people and the sacred Ganges River in the heart of Banaras, known as Kashi.
