While I stayed at the Cholamandal Artist village, Chennai, I had the opportunity to discover my style and my inspiration. Colors fascinate me the most and this is reflected in my paintings. My works are presented with linear configuration of abstract themes which unfold into matrix. I believe there so much more to learn and grow in life and art helps me to reach a higher level of being. My motto when it comes to art is simple- I search for me, within me and I look for me out of me.
