As a Vancouver-based artist, born and raised in the coastal towns of western India, my artwork is inspired by the combined beauty of both worlds. They are similar, yet so different in many ways and I consider myself fortunate to have been able to absorb it all and pour it into my art.
I do not follow a specific genre of art and love to continually explore and experiment with my artistic prowess. Being a self-taught artist, I am always striving to improve the quality of my artwork, learning from mistakes and yearning to create the ultimate masterpiece, making myself the biggest critique of my work.
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember but the year 2020 made me do some soul searching and take my passion seriously. I started working on smaller art pieces mostly just for myself and found a sense of joy and peace all around. I love creating human expressions and landscapes on canvas using mostly acrylic although I also enjoy working with oil.
With the encouragement of friends and family, I am sharing my creative expression with the world hoping it brings the same kind of joy to others.
Every child is an artist. It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. Everything you can imagine is real.
