The Fool Painting

Art for me is a reflection of the life I live. My journey began in the structured world of technology and corporate life, but over time, I felt drawn toward something beyond material pursuits. Leaving that world behind, I spent years traveling across India—through cities and remote villages—immersing myself in experiences that redefined my understanding of self and existence. Minimalism and non-objectiveness have become central to both my thought and my work. The quietude I encounter within is what I attempt to translate onto the canvas. Each piece emerges without premeditation—sometimes I sit with a blank canvas for days, and then suddenly, the painting reveals itself. This intuitive and unhurried process mirrors the way I navigate life: open to the spontaneous and the ineffable. I draw deeply from the silent grandeur of ancient architecture, their textures, and the residual energies they hold. My palette remains sparse, allowing color, form, and space to hold conversations that words cannot. I am continually inspired by the dynamic movement in Paul Klee’s compositions and the contemplative resonance in the works of S.H. Raza. Ultimately, painting is a ritual of solitude and inner immersion. If the viewer, even momentarily, experiences a sense of stillness, introspection, or a quiet rupture from thought, then my journey as an artist is complete.
