My works and my process of work are like synonyms, it is hard to tell which precedes the other. I think my paintings are not a result of a creative process but snapshots of continuous creative processes at different intervals of time.

Since 2008, I have regularly used historic, religious, and social photographic references in my paintings. As the power of photographs to hold a viewers attention and to rock him back and forth in time, interests me a lot. I have an immense interest in the study of religion and philosophy and their strange but evident applications and relations with the fast and chaotic socio-modern scenario, which can be seen in my paintings from time to time. The juxtaposing photographic images and philosophical statements in superficially irrelevant backgrounds create a mysterious environment which sparks a conflict in the minds of the viewer.

My paintings often are on subjects that include but are not limited to complex problems that arise due to the socio-political advancements; the dilemmas faced by humans while striking a balance between the inner and outer world and the exploration of the vast landscape which lies inside every human head. The thinking process, as said earlier, is a continuous process and has no amount of deliberation. A thought is born at the subconscious level and the intensity of it attracts the mind and the process begins. Subsequently, the thought is built into an idea, it gets conceptualized and then the process of visualization and composition follows before it is brought on to a canvas. I try to portray the dilemma as I experience it without making any kind of a statement. This process is completed when the viewer comes in to conversation with me through the painting and he is subconsciously made to think on subjects away from the superficial day to day life. The wide scope of interpretation which my work presents makes my painting come out differently to each viewer according to his or her experiences and line of thinking.

My paintings are figurative and constantly evolving which allows me to experiment with different mediums and techniques. I largely paint in oil and acrylic, oil being my preferred medium. I am quite influenced by Indian painters like Atul Dodiya, Baiju Parthan , and Ratnadeep Adivrekar and have international influences like Rene Magrete, Robert Ruschenburgh and Andy Worhol.
