I am an artist from India, now residing in Dublin.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My artworks are a reflection of the people, cultures and surroundings I am a part of - over the years they have evolved and reflect my thoughts as I see them. 

My recent works are figurative with particular focus on women - their mannerisms and beauty. 

I see a lot of similarities between women and nature - both are beautiful, vulnerable, giving, tolerant and exploited.
