  Artist Statement Welcome to my creative space. I am a contemporary artist, get inspiration from nature, everyday life, memory, and finally and obviously from the literature that I consume passionately – all this fused with emotions establishes a connectivity with all. Through the symbolic forms, colour layers, textures, and with diverse materials, I create my works to convey my life experiences, perspectives and emotions. Each painting is a journey into the space of imagination, where experiences and memories blend and unfold to take a new image with new interpretation. I consistently enjoy experimenting with new concepts and materials to build depth and meaning. I hope my works encourage viewers to pause, reflect and discover meaning and have a connection with art. The blog is where I share my art works and the narratives behind the process that shape my artistic journey. Thank you for visiting and being part of the creative journey. I hope my works bring you pleasure,...

Changes in accordance to time bring in new dimensions to life and culture. The features of evolvement as a generational symbolical shift, growth and innovation are unavoidable and essential. We have been into 21 st century now. Shifting from 20 th to 21 st century is like stepping into a surrealistic world, with cutting edge technology innovation.

After globalization, affected by the closeness, the world culture is reshaping in a new way.     To compete or to accommodate to the changing times becomes very challenging for our generation as everything moved very slowly during our times. Last few years were hectic. There was a series of marriages in the close families and among the friends. All boys and girls, whom we had ...

  Monsoon Tea and Reflection       June begins with enchanting monsoon rains, bringing a drastic transition in the surroundings and human life. The wet surroundings, the smell of earth, the croaking of frogs, the smell of pakodas — all fused together ooze a distinct charm for those who crave to have a tryst with rains.   Late one rainy evening, we decided to visit Mugad tank which is close by.   The chilly wind and the lush green wet surroundings were very inviting as we travelled slowly, enjoying the monsoon vibes. As the sun had already set   , the light grey hue spread across the sky was deepening with the ticking. From far, the tank full to the brink looked very serene when we alighted from the car. The whole area was totally at peace with itself, in harmony with the musical sound of the wind and the chirpings of returning birds. The vast, flat, stretch of lush green grass ground dotted with large trees and bushes at distance looked reall...

  The monsoon has arrived much earlier than expected this year. It was to come two days later , and we were awaiting its arrival with all the eagerness. The previous day was very sunny , bright and warm. The Newspaper said that the monsoon had reached Kerala state in time and proceeds towards karnataka state within couple days. Every species was eagerly waiting for the monsoon as the summer days and nights had become intolerable with increased suffocating heat. The very next morning, on getting up, I found the overcast sky indicating the nearing of the monsoon. The cloudy sky and the windy weather persisted all through day but without any drizzling. The following day, in the morning, it had started raining silently. Chill wind brushed our cheeks and arms fondly and teasingly reminding us of our warm clothes neatly packed in the cupboard. The atmosphere was very pleasant and inspiring. I enjoyed my first monsoon tea in the balcony watching the rain, in the background some old Hindi ...
