My favorite thing to do in a moving car ( no, not while driving of course) is to capture rustling trees in my phone camera which become the subject of my art.

I have been enjoying the process of painting my recent series. I use collaged papers on the canvas. I create shapes and forms around and in between these collaged pieces keeping my theme of Secret Garden in mind. Painting around creating shapes, covering shapes, excavating shapes to reveal new shapes. Its a meditative process. The interaction between these shapes is what I find most exciting.
I find myself having conversations with my works while its in process. I have loved the end results and I feel that the viewers will also enjoy these paintings ..read more

Just came across this pic so decided to post here. Last year I had participated in a residency that was curated by eminent artist Raju Sutar at Hampi, Karnataka, India. This painting was a bit different from my style but I tried to show the freedom I felt, from the very hustle and bustle of the city life. There is a calmness in the painting .
Hope you enjoy this calmness looking at the painting ..read more

I feel magic here in the enchanted forest. The woods invite me into themselves so that I am drawn out of myself. This painting of enchanted forest draws your attention , makes you wrap yourself in a cozy blanket , get a cup of warm tea and enjoy the calmness.
This time I used round canvases and I really enjoyed this shape. These will fit well on both coloured and white wall, framed or unframed.
Feel enchanted!
(Sorry for the bad images, will post better ones very soon ..read more

I was glad to have a second chance to visit Ghana in November 2022. I had been there before Covid and had done a few studio visits of Ghanaian eminent artists and as always intrigued with the workspaces of artists, had planned to do the same this time as well, along with other activities. November and December were a complete art treat for me as there were many exhibitions taking place in the city of Accra, the capital of Ghana. Met old artist friends and met some new artists as well.
My first visit was to Larry Otoo Sir studio where I asked if he can connect me to some establi ..read more
