I am a self taught painter who constantly seek the artist with in .Born and raised in Satna Madhya Pradesh a small town in central India. While I use a variety of materials and processes in each project my methodology is consistent. Although there may not always be material and theme similarities between the different projects they are linked by recurring formal concerns and through the subject matter. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials and the forms of the work. Each project often consists of multiple works, often in a range of different media, grouped around specific themes and meanings. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work. I didn't set out to be an environmental artist or to create artwork relating to social commentary but as my portfolio developed and people started to review my work, the descriptions started to emerge and I began to notice a pattern I hadn't intended but am now please with. At school, the only class I really paid any attention in was art. I simply wasn't interested in anything else and I think my obsession with depicting the monotony of the work place and work force started there...I love freedom and passion with escapes on canvas.
My influences are first and foremost everything I see, feel and experience, but I've always loved work by Swarez and Jackson pollock.
