Exhibitions & Recognition
My exhibitions are where my paintings find their true home with you. From solo shows in Delhi to special gallery features, this is where my artistic journey meets your perspective.

About Exhibitions & Recognition
Walking into an exhibition like 'Fundamental Instincts' is not just about viewing paintings on a wall. It is about the dialogue that happens when you stand in front of a canvas and realize your own reflection is part of the work, creating a shared moment of discovery between us.
Sharing my work is a vital part of my journey. It is where the silent conversation between the painting and the viewer actually begins. Whether it is a solo show at the Visual Arts Gallery or a feature in an e-magazine like Yathra, these exhibitions are not just about the display. They are about the community, the feedback from visitors, and the energy that happens when people from different walks of life connect with the art.
Why I Exhibit
My goal with every show is to create a space for svayam (self-realization). When I see friends, patrons, and art enthusiasts engaging with the work, it validates the long hours of experimentation in the studio. Seeing someone like the singer Mansi Jain or a new collector stop to really look at the layering or the metallic finish tells me the connection is happening.
Past & Future Shows
My 11th solo exhibition, 'Fundamental Instincts,' was a culmination of years of introspection on nature, spirituality, and our inner lives. The curation by Georgina Maddox allowed these works to speak to each other, creating a visual dialogue. I am constantly working on new pieces and exploring new concepts. If you missed a show, don't worry. I am always planning the next one.
If you are interested in attending an opening or want to host a viewing, I am happy to keep you updated. My exhibitions are about the people as much as the paint.
