I consider myself fortunate to have been born into a family that has an artistic bend and often thank the higher consciousness for showing me the way to embrace art and make it an inseparable part of my life. If I can inspire people to break their inhibitions of a secure job and follow their passion, the artist in me shall be overjoyed. I choose my colour palette after much deliberation because I understand the subtle psychological effects that colours have on a human mind. Based on the feelings I wish to inspire, I choose contrasting shades and assign my subjects with the task of conveying my perspective on life. I believe that a painting is similar to a movie, but the entire story of about 3 hours and all the drama associated with it is condensed into one single powerful image. I do my best to make paintings as life-like and real as possible so that any viewer is visually captivated to them and can relate to them easily.
