Artist Statement

My sources of inspiration are poetry and classical Indian literature. Verses from Tagore on missing the day a lotus bloomed or Nehru’s 1947 Tryst with Destiny speech, have inspired my compositions.

Themes of nostalgia for my childhood recur in my paintings and I often paint locales I frequented, like the deer forests of the Kalakshetra Foundation, Government museum and the banyans of the Theosophical society.
