My paintings emerge from the furnace of my emotions and experiences. Each brushstroke, each hue, and each layer, brings a bit of my spirit with it, infusing my creations with a particular feeling of "me." I'm not interested in merely reproducing the world; I'm interested in examining it, in peeling back the layers of uniformity to discover the hidden realities beneath. Through my paintings, I hope to showcase the world's flaws, jagged edges, and inherent beauty in imperfection. Sculpture, on the other hand, allows me to bring the intangible to life. I transform the abstract into the physical by working with clay and wood to create elaborate three-dimensional surreal expressions. Each of the works is a tribute to the blurry border between existence and fiction, a reflection of the human condition and the delicate dance between consciousness and the unconscious. In this dance, I hope to bring forth the hidden and the obscured, the vivid and the blurred, all of which will merge into a surreal beautiful symphony. In a society that's full of perfectionists, my art serves as a reminder that genuine beauty lies in sincerity. With each brush stroke and each sculpture I create, I strive to express the essence of life's duality - the yin and yang of our existence, where light and shadow reside together. As an artist hailing from India, navigating the realms of a third-world upbringing and a first-world education, I have developed this sense of duality. I do live in the present but my lens captures always a different image. I don't think about the surface but rather what exists below that, peeling the layers of my dual nature where I keep fighting for what is right or wrong, what is real and what is fictional.
