The symmetrical detailing and almost painstaking process make this work a throwback to the times when art was a vocation as a passion and a lot was expected of an artist beyond just a few brush strokes. My concerns are about what touches the everyday life of a person and the cycle of nature, the transport, the travel, the spiritual seeking and the difficulty of earning a living as well as the joy of making a living out of agriculture. All of these diverse strands can be glimpsed in this work giving us a picture of India as it exists in the rural setting beyond the chic art of modern, urban concerns.

We use to find enjoyment in places like circuses and games. But have you ever thought enjoyment can be a risk of death for someone? In my work I tried to show risks of death from the audience point of view. We all know a show called 'Well of Death' . It's a side show of circus where motorcyclists ride along the vertical wall and perform stunts. As an audience, I used to enjoy those stunts but always there is a little fear for that stunt man who perform stunts to give pleasure to the audience.

The monsoon that came during the pandemic lockdown. Normally, every year I used to enjoy the monsoons by soaking in the rain but this year I wasn't able to enjoy it due to the lockdown. So, I had to isolate my emotions. And i tried to paint my emotions in this painting.

In this series of works, I am trying to archive various cultural places, rituals, objects, and materials that are etched in my memories. These places not only define but also point out the important differences in ritualistic practices and cultural parameters between different villages.

The imagery of the divine entities has its own visual aesthetics in the diverse Indian folk and tribal art traditions. This painting is a contemporary rendition of folk idioms and associated oral culture to see these icons in a new light.

<p>This art collection captures the spirit of Indian festivals through the use of color. Delineated broadly through different schools, styles, and unconventional juxtapositions, this particular set of artworks experiment with a diverse range of Indian art-historical antecedents and arrive at certain abbreviations that placed them in a keen, tangential relationship to the contemporary visual language.&nbsp;</p>


From paintings to photography to drawing, each piece of art in this collection celebrates the beauty and diversity of Indian culture.
