my paintings and digital art include the genres of abstract art, figurative art, figurative-abstracts, decorative art and child art. my style is a mix of lucid art, naive art and soulful art. Indian colours interplay with 'western' concepts while retaining a strong sense of graphic design.

Most of the paintings are acrylics on canvas, only a few are on paper. i work most often in the figurative-abstract genre, and the basic elements of nature appear often in my paintings, though not in a strictly realistic way.

my academic background is in psychology, i started exploring painting and great artists during college. personally, my collective consciousness is steeped in indian mythology, lore, tradition, and philosophy. in the process of formal education i imbibed the western rationalist-scientific approach as also a very individualistic mode of thinking. but as i traveled deeper in psychology i was led again to meditation and the mystical practices. i now firmly believe that investigation into inner worlds is of paramount significance. my inner journeys have deepened considerably with the practice of yoga, meditation, research in consciousness, several other techniques of self-awareness and of course intuition. my art expresses some of these explorations.

i work on the principles of essence, wonder, simplicity, innocence, vibrancy and serenity. there is something very 'western' about my art, as about me. and something that is very indian too. i love this mix. i believe, art has the capacity to present radically different, even opposing points of view and yet to integrate them.
