Picture this as a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into each stroke of my brush and the stories I’m trying to tell on canvas. For me, painting is like having an ongoing conversation with history, materials, and big, profound concepts. It’s not just about putting paint on a canvas; it’s a form of self-discovery, an exploration of life’s intricate details. It is an opportunity to engage with the past, the present, and everything in between.

​

I come from Jaipur, India, a city rich in culture and tradition, and I carry that heritage with me in every piece I create. My work is deeply rooted in these cultural stories and the vibrant history that shapes my identity, grounding my exploration of contemporary themes in a timeless context.

​

I have always been fascinated by stillness—the pauses in life that seem insignificant but hold so much meaning. Have you ever noticed how, in silence, everything becomes louder? The ticking of a clock, the hum of your thoughts, even the beating of your heart. That’s where my work begins—in those quiet, suspended moments where time feels like it’s holding its breath.

​

Through my work, I try to create a space where we can pause, reflect, and feel—really feel. Life moves so fast, and we often miss the beauty of the interdependencies that bind us to each other and to the world around us.

When someone looks at my work, I want them to see themselves in it—not literally, but in a way that resonates with their own experiences and stories. Art, for me, is a dialogue: a conversation between the artist, the viewer, and the world.

​

I’ve been asked if my paintings are ever truly finished. The truth is, they’re not. They’re just paused, like a sentence waiting for its next word. And that’s how I see my journey as an artist. It’s not about arriving at a final answer; it’s about exploring the questions, the uncertainties, and the spaces in between.
