Art for me started at Sir J.J. School of Art, but honestly, most of my inspiration comes from wandering the city, soaking in the clash of slums and skyscrapers. You’ll find me sketching in the middle of a busy street or chatting with kids in the basti. I travel a lot for art camps, from Pahalgam to Kerala, always chasing stories. Got a Kalanand Award and a Lalit Kala Akademi nod, but what drives me is painting what’s real – what needs to be seen and heard. ### My work - **Commissioned paintings and portraits**: I paint stories—portraits, scenes, and concepts, often using oil on linen canvas and soft pastels. - **Impressionism meets Realism**: My style mixes impressionist vibes with realism. I love impasto palette knife technique for extra texture. - **Art as social research**: I dig deep into social realism paintings, focusing on kids in slums, Indian tribal art stories, and history. - **Narrative-driven process**: Each piece is built from real observation, aiming to spark recognition and change through emotion.
