“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together” said Van Gogh and that is what I have tried to achieve throughout my journey so far. Not limiting myself to a set pattern, I love to play with colors and mediums and in the process express my vision that comes from the soul. My style and use of colors in abstract form is pure and vibrant with a view to generate similar emotions on the viewer which I experienced while creating that piece of art.
Art is my childhood passion. God has been kind to bless me with this unique talent. At age of 7, I entered a painting contest and was highly appreciated by the judges. I was told that I am special and made for this field. At that point in time, I started my journey towards art. I make abstract artworks with corrugated cardboard as a medium. I also constantly experiment and innovate to find newer interesting ways to can use this beautiful medium of corrugated cardboard in my works.
I am based in North India and most of my works are based on celestial bodies as I am intrigued and inspired by the infinite universe. Apart from this, I also like to work on social, emotional and spiritual themes.
