I am a painter from India.
My paintings depicting ancient Indian architecture evoke a sense of nostalgia for the days gone by. They bear a close relationship with my personal life experiences including numerous visits to ancient places witnessing a long sequence of human and natural history. In my dreams, I view myself wandering in and around the ancient castles, temples, havelis, rocks and old banyan trees. I feel a strong bond with all these. Thus the element of time, mingled with mystery and the spiritual quest inspires me to paint.

My figurative works are a tribute to the village women of India who preserve the ancient Indian way of life and the fast vanishing traditions. The festive colors celebrate the richness and power of tradition that they experience in their lives.

I like to work in more than one style at the same period in my life, depending upon the creative urge and mood of that moment.
I love and respect all forms of Art throughout the world.
