My artwork is a reflection of the vast and diverse culture that I have been exposed to since my childhood. I believe that ancient Indian wisdom has a lot to offer to the world. The various realms, be it spiritual, scientific or social hold the key to balance and peace. I strive to achieve this poise in my art.
I like to explore new media but enjoy working in acrylics and oils the most. I am starting to work in three dimensions and collage work. Both these, I find challenging and pleasing.
Art, to me, is very personal. Conceptual work gives me most satisfaction. I like to work around Indian traditional forms and I have noticed a pattern of these time-honored concepts in many of my works and I realize with great contentment that my creativity allows me to pass on a part of my upbringing, my roots.
