Art to me is the ability to see the world around me from varied points of view and explore these
perspectives in my work. What starts out as an undefined abstraction finds expression in a finessed end
result that reflects my attitude, feelings and thoughts. It brings immense satisfaction to explore,
experiment and discover, seeing beauty in things, form, color, nature and art itself. Things that don't
seem all that essential but without which one would not feel truly alive. Through these pieces or
compositions I hope to connect with the viewer.
Inspiration is drawn from varied sources. Every idea or a drawing is a fresh beginning with many
possibilities. There are times when it's not only the subject but the material, textures and colors that
are intriguing. My work sometimes start with a color idea and evolve into compositions where color is
the primary subject. |

Colors sway my thinking, change actions, and cause reactions. A medium that's
powerful and irreplaceable. At the same time monochromatic approach is equally captivating. The play
of light and shadows and the mood it creates is the foundation of my charcoal works.
I have a Bachelors degree in Visual Arts (B.V.A) from College of Fine Arts, Karnataka Chitrakala
Parishath Bangalore. Education also includes Bachelors in Computer Science, Maths and Statistics and Masters in Computer Applications.
Currently I express my ideas using painting, print making and working directly with mundane objects.
