For me, Art is magical! 

I started to paint from a very early age, but never imagined that from coloring books to a canvas, this journey would turn out to be so beautiful. I started to paint with no formal course of learning, but because I found my better friends in three phases; colors, brushes and white sheets. I prefer to paint anything that blows my mind, and which connects me with the imaginary world. From painting a loaf of bread to painting a Gautam buddha portrait, which feels like an ordinary familiar world around us but is ambiguous and abstracted!!

I paint whatever I feel. From abstract portraits to nature and applied, I paint what my heart says. I prefer to do customized artwork for my sales because for me, nothing is best than to bring onto paper in the form of art, what the people can imagine. My canvases mostly revolve around the concept of modern abstract art with a binge of Indian and Western culture. 

With my works, I try to connect people around me with magic. I try to breathe life into a long-forgotten culture so that its designs, ideas, innovations and lifestyle are displayed on my canvas. I paint not only on canvas, but other mediums like glass bottles, wooden planks and coconut shells. I believe that painting is something beyond perfection and a bliss in this world of imagination.

My only motive is to connect with art and through my work, make people more positive and fuller of life!!
