After the rain Painting

I paint because there is nothing more I would rather be doing. It gets me up in the morning looking forward to the possibilities the day brings. I am greatly influenced by my nomadic life. In my formative years I lived across the length and breadth of India, a sub-continent of extreme diversity of landscape, people, culture and language. Later I lived in vibrant cities like Tokyo, Dublin, Mumbai, Sydney,Singapore and now Hong Kong, each having contributed to making me what I am today. I portray the land, the people and the flora -fauna through the filter of my collective experiences. I don’t believe in tying myself down to a particular style or theme, but attempt to change and evolve continuously. I don’t feel today how I felt a month ago, so each work is a reflection of emotions and experiences at that particular time in my life. I enjoy exploring different facets of nature and man-the mighty to the mundane. My paintings amalgamate memories and musings. I work predominantly in acrylics and oils but make forays into pastels, cold wax medium and colour pencils, as my fancy takes me.
