About Me

I am an artist by profession though I have no formal training in art. I believe that art cannot be taught, it is a process of self discovery. I have been painting all my life, my first solo art exhibition was when I am in Grade 9 in school. I went through the usual career choice of Chartered Accountancy but decided to follow my heart’s desire to become a full time artist and a rich and famous one at that.

About my work

To hell with the rules… I paint what I like!

I have always followed my heart when it comes to painting. So I don’t have any fixed ideas and deliberate style. I go with the flow of inspiration creating works in varied styles, continuously evolving and improving myself. For me the essence of art has always been a communication, the ability to transfer a feeling or idea beyond myself. I generally use happy colors and I believe my works portray peace and joy that bring positive energy into spaces. Best known for art that makes one think I believe my art is a message to the world. Every piece that I create contains deep, meaningful and profound thought. Being an artist gives me a special ability to see beauty in mundane things and appreciate everything around us at a deeper level. It is like living life with rosy glasses on.

Aim

I aim to open a free art school for the under privileged children. Also a world class institute for professional art courses. Art should be free and accessible to all. It is a powerful medium and if used correctly art can create a significant difference in our world. My aim is to spread positivity and well being through my art. I am here to make an impact leaving my footprints firmly planted for future generations to inspire.
