As an Indian Australian visual artist rooted in Naarm (Melbourne), I navigate the canvas as both a figurative painter and a collage creator.
In my art, figures and objects emerge as storytellers. The placement of elements within my compositions is deliberate and often juxtaposed.
My artistic journey is a tapestry woven from threads of memory, identity, historical events and cultural contrasts.
The narrative is formed by a connection to my present state of mind or the echoes of memories. As an expatriate, I juggle the expectations of two cultures, and this tension fuels my works.
In this gallery of emotions and contrasts, I want my art to realise the viewers, to explore their own stories and sense of belonging in this fast-paced world.
