My Background
I am an artist ,
Bachelor of Fine Art ( B.F.A).
Mumbai- India.
My creative journey was deeply influenced by the artistic legacy of my family.
Growing up in an environment where both ,My Mother- A singer, and My Father- A writer, passionately embraced the arts, I was enveloped by the beauty and expressiveness that art offers. Their artistic spirits ignited my own passion for self-expression through the visual arts.
My artistic evolution has been a dynamic process. Initially, my style was rooted in formal realism, employing acrylic and oil paints to depict people and everyday objects. Over time, my artistic path led me toward a more painterly style, where I embraced a wider spectrum of colors to create vibrant and emotionally charged compositions.
In my current body of work, I explore abstract painting, weaving surreal imagery with elements inspired by musical compositions. My chosen medium is a fusion of mixed media, utilizing both acrylic and oil painting techniques. I also incorporate found objects to enhance the visual and textural aspects of my creations, adding depth and complexity to the narratives I seek to convey.
To me, art is a profoundly powerful form of self-expression. In addition to my visual art, I have a deep appreciation for music, literature, and historical research, all of which enrich and inform my creative process. Art, in its many forms, offers boundless opportunities for innovation and imagination, representing the pinnacle of humanity's capacity for self-expression and connection.
Thank you for exploring my artistic journey, and I look forward to sharing my creations and stories with you.
My Medium
I am an artist who finds inspiration in the diversity of mediums and the boundless opportunities they offer for creative expression. In my pursuit of art, I choose not to confine myself to a single medium, as I believe that each idea possesses its own unique character and demands its own distinctive style.
acrylics, pastels, and various other mediums serve as my creative palette, each with its own set of textures, colors, and techniques. I view these mediums as tools that allow me to breathe life into my ideas, capturing the essence of each concept in a way that feels most authentic.
For me, working with mix media is liberating rather than restrictive. It enables me to explore the full spectrum of artistic possibilities and adapt my creative approach to suit the nuances of each individual project. Whether I'm sculpting with clay, painting with acrylics, or sketching with pastels,
I embrace the flexibility that comes with this multidisciplinary approach.
Ultimately, my art reflects the belief that diversity
in mediums translates to diversity in expression.
It is through this diversity that I can fully manifest the essence of each idea, allowing it to unfold
in its own distinct and captivating way.
My work style
My artistic journey is a deeply subjective exploration where ideas and concepts take precedence, guiding my creative process. At the heart of my work is the belief that art is a powerful medium for conveying emotions, thoughts, and narratives.
My painting style can be described as conceptual and subjective. I am drawn to the enigmatic beauty of geometry, and I utilize geometric forms to divide the canvas into distinct portions. These forms serve as the foundation upon which I build my compositions, allowing me to create visual structures that echo the underlying concepts
I wish to convey.
One of the core elements of my style is the exploration of depth. I aim to imbue my works with layers of meaning and interpretation, inviting viewers to delve beyond the surface and explore the intricacies of the subject matter. By using geometry as a tool, I seek to enhance the depth of my art, transcending the boundaries of two-dimensional space.
Ultimately, my art is a personal and subjective journey, a reflection of my inner world and the concepts that resonate with me. I believe that art has the power to ignite conversations,
provoke thought, and evoke emotions, and I strive to harness that power through my conceptual and geometric approach.
My Inspiration
First and foremost, my parents have been the guiding stars in my journey of artistic discovery. They've shown me that art is not just about what meets the eye; it's a lens through which we can view the world from a multitude of angles. Their unwavering support and encouragement have instilled in me a deep appreciation for the diverse forms of art, be it visual, performing, or any other medium that allows us to express the human experience. Through their example, I've come to understand that art is a powerful means of communication, transcending boundaries and touching the soul.
Secondly, I draw immense inspiration from the harmonious symphony of music and the breathtaking beauty of nature. The world is a canvas painted with a kaleidoscope of colors, and the sound of nature's melodies is a soothing balm to my soul. The rustling leaves in the wind, the rhythmic lapping of waves, the chirping of birds at dawn – these are the compositions that speak to my heart. They remind me of the inherent beauty and wonder of our planet, inspiring me to preserve and protect the natural world for generations to come.
In the union of these two inspirations – the multifaceted world of art and the captivating allure of nature and music – I find my own creative voice. I strive to create works that capture the essence of these influences and share them with the world, hoping to inspire others to explore the beauty that surrounds us and to express themselves through the arts.
I encourage you to reflect on your own sources of inspiration, for they are the driving forces behind our creative endeavors and the compass that guides us on our artistic journeys. Share your passions, let your artistry flourish, and spread the joy of inspiration with those around you. In doing so, we can collectively contribute to a more vibrant and beautiful world.
