I am a self-taught artist living in Bangalore, India. I grew up watching my mom paint and always dreamed of being an artist. After working in the animation industry for many years, I recently decided to turn my dream into a reality.

I love creating cheerful and joyful paintings with bold expressive colour and texture. The main subjects of my art reflect my love of flowers, nature, animals and the everyday experiences. I like to capture the essence of a subject, stylizing it and making it my own. My paintings are both a direct reflection of my surroundings and an imaginary world – a secret space that is a joy to be lost within.

My current body of work is a series of collages, composed of carefully torn bits of hand-painted papers, meticulously put together to create vibrant pieces of art. From a distance, you see the subject of the artwork and on closer inspection you will find lots of interesting details within.

I hope my art serves as a reflection of the beauty and complexity that nature provides and evokes a sense of joy and happiness.
