Featured
This is the first collection of artworks a potential client will see. I have selected these pieces to provide a powerful and immediate overview of my artistic range, from deeply emotional narrative works to technically precise commissioned portraits. The hero piece, "The Hope of Innocent Flowers," encapsulates my core mission: to find and express the profound stories hidden in everyday life.
Commissioned Portraits
I create custom portraits for individuals, couples, and families, working to transform a memory or vision into a lasting piece of art. My approach combines realism with an expressive style, using mediums like oil on linen or soft pastels to best capture the subject's essence.
Expressive Portraiture & Character Studies
This collection features my portrait studies in oil, soft pastel, and watercolor. Rather than formal commissions, these works are personal explorations of human emotion, character, and the stories told by a face. I often use impasto and rapid brushwork to capture a fleeting expression or a specific mood.
Historical & Cultural Explorations
As an artist, I am deeply drawn to the stories embedded in our history and culture. This series features large-scale, experimental works in mixed media and acrylic that reinterpret historical events and cultural motifs, such as the ancient murals of Ajanta and the history of the Martand Sun Temple.
Abstract & Conceptual Commissions
For clients seeking a bolder, more interpretive statement, I create abstract and conceptual pieces. These works are often commissioned for specific projects, like films, and use dynamic color, line, and texture to convey an idea or emotion.
Sketches & Foundational Work
Drawing is the foundation of my practice. This selection of self-portraits and studies in pencil on paper showcases the discipline of academic drawing that underpins my more expressive paintings.
Behind the Canvas: Process & Recognition
This gallery offers a look into my world as a working artist. It includes images from live demonstrations, my studio, and moments of recognition at exhibitions and award ceremonies, sharing the journey behind each finished artwork.
Social Narratives: Childhood & Hope
This body of work is born from my observations of children, particularly those in marginalized communities. Through mediums like oil, acrylic, and mixed media, I explore themes of innocence, resilience, and the societal structures that shape their lives.
