Color and the juxtaposition of colors that our vision encounters; every moment plays an important role in how we celebrate life.

My goal is to create a glimpse of the past using color as the coalescing force, be it the serene lit faces of a buddha, or a shiva, or through stories from Indian mythology to find joyfulness and meaning in that canvas.

About the Artist:
All my life, I was in awe of artists – engaging in their creations, deciphering their thought process with colors,  lines, and textures, and in the end celebrating them. I had no idea, 9 years back, that trying to gel with my younger daughter would allow me to find my life’s passion. My daughter was taking an art class and to spend some quality father-daughter time, we ventured into a joint painting session. We chose a simple landscape Youtube video, a small pack of cheap tube paint, a few cheap brushes, and an eager father and daughter duo ready to make the ‘masterpiece’ of their lifetime.

I ended up discovering my passion and voice in art and from then forward have put my heart and soul into creating art as a self-taught artist. 

My goal is to bring to life the richly storied and colorful mythological folklore of India, esp; the Puranas,  inspired by fauvist figurative expressionism styles. But, at heart, I am a storyteller and experimentalist fascinated and drawn to a new style, medium, color palette and topic inspired by his own dreams and other master artists, living and dead.
