About Me

My Basis and Background

I have been painting for as long as I can remember. I have painted on canvas in oils & multimedia, pen & ink on paper,  acrylic on  silk, on wood, on glass, and even lyrical forms on a ballet body! 


I trained as a painter in the Delhi School of Art and have had 35 exhibitions , largely  solo and a few group shows in important art festivals and events as a solo national representative across several countries.


I did research work with the Devnagri (Hindi) script in the field of Concrete Poetry which is on permanent placement in International Archives, Germany.


My work demands allowance from the viewer to connect to the painting with their own experience.


The experience, or impact, is what I attempt to paint. As I experience life in its many forms, there are some moments which leave their own indelible deep impact on me. A presence which inspires me until I have  dealt with it by putting my brush to the canvas. 


I have painted extensively using calligraphy. The words come from different Sufi saints, including Kabir, Rumi, Bulleh Shah and Hazrat Shah Niaz etc. The artistic interpretations are my own. 


Each of my works has its own moment of association and raison dêtre. I paint to relate my inner self, my space, to this association. My invitation to my audience is to allow just that much space to view, or relate to a canvas so that the painting of a tree isn't just bark and leaves, so that the sea isn't a body of water. Maybe they discover the lushness within the tree, or, perhaps the depth of words within the waves. This may not necessarily be the moment I had in mind when I painted, it may just be their own moment. Perhaps there is a subliminal connect -?
