My paintings are based on collected experiences and memories of being born and brought up in India, my travelling and having lived in England since 2000.
Art is how I connect with people, how I express my thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams. My paintings are not a literal representation, but surreal.
Art has the power to uplift and inspire and speak directly to our heart. It is a conversation without words. I use human figures, animals, birds, flowers and abstract elements as symbolic connections, and they relate to each other to create a visually appealing relatable message.
Part of the art making process for me is about unpacking memories and emotions, piecing together fragments of subjects which I find evocative or nostalgic or significant, bringing myself and patchwork of experiences and emotions out on to the canvas.
I work mainly in my studio, but I develop ideas by taking photographs and drawing in a sketchbook. I like to use mixed media and oil paint, depending on the subject and effect I wish to create.
I started to fully dedicate myself to painting in 1998, and since then I have exhibited and sold many paintings both in the UK and internationally. I completed my BA (HONS) Fine Arts from University of Derby in 2009.
