My paintings are the treasure troves of my hidden feelings. I intend to confess the long lost feelings and emotions buried deep inside my heart and soul. You can call my works as autobiographical paintings, as they showcase the journey of my life through shades of vivacious colours, shapes, forms and styles. If you look at my work, I am sure you will be able to see through the hardships I have suffered and ascendency I have achieved. I do not strive to create layers of emotions and metaphors through my work. My art simply forms an image of my life.
