ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am a self-taught artist, born in Agra, India, and have lived in India and Nigeria, and currently based in London, UK. I'm part of The Holborn Group and The Rookery Artist Collective, who work in a wide variety of media including drawing, printmaking, photography, painting and sculpture.
Through my work, I record experiences of various places and emotions, the memories of which are precious to me. My paintings depict places or moments that encompass certain emotion.
I explore different media, texture and surfaces with the aim of reaching desired composition, colour and mood. When I am painting I am reliving these experiences over and over again. The process of painting is exorcising both positive and negative memories.
My work reflects fascination with the ideas of absent presence, indoors vs outdoors, man vs nature, unfolding layers of our hidden truth, the inner being, all pervading Supreme Consciousness.
The work ranges from recording reflections, shadows and layers of what we see and what actually is there or is not there. It explores the everyday experiences in context of life’s deeper philosophy. To everything, there’s more than what meets the eye.
In my collection, The Karma Series, I take a humorous approach towards investigating issues of Karma, destiny, rituals and spiritual ceremonies in the context of different philosophical and cultural backgrounds.
