Art for me is a journey of soul, which never ends. To make this journey beautiful, and lively I am painting the path so others can walk on this path happily.

Born and brought up in India, a land of Art, Culture, and spirituality. I got love for art from my Father, who was a great appreciator of my paintings and from mother I inherited love for life, and both of them were strong believers of God. My father would daily sing prayers with one of his musical instrument and mother would perform Hawan daily. My paintings therefore reflect a very musical and spiritual feel. The human faces I paint, have very angelic expressions. My family was very conservative thus I was confided to my city where I pursued my Bachelor and later Master’s degree in FINE ARTS. My mother always accompanied me when I had to do outdoor sketching and landscapes, she would pack food for both of us and used to read novels while I was busy painting. So it used to be like a picnic always. Library was my favorite place, and all money that I would get from parents for buying clothes I used to spend on buying Great Artist’s books and art material. I was influenced by Ajanta Paintings in India, which reflected my work too. They became my base. The flow and the curves...
