A gallery of my heart and soul. This collection highlights the diverse artistic traditions of India that I explore with devotion, from large canvases to delicate folk work.

This is one of my proudest achievements, a massive 6 by 7-foot canvas titled "Ancient Science of Healing." Seeing a client's vision come to life on such a grand scale is the result of immense hard work and makes all the effort worthwhile.

In my Paitkar painting "Women breaking the orthodox tradition," I imagine a society where women take on new roles. This tribal folk art from Jharkhand is traditionally used for storytelling, and here I use its bold style to tell a modern tale of empowerment.

This realistic Ganesha painting, framed and ready for a new home, is a form of puja for me. Capturing the divine presence of Ganpati Bappa on a 15 by 23-inch canvas using acrylics is a meditative process.

A Pahari miniature painting showing the divine love of Radha and Krishna. I create these pieces using traditional methods and natural earth colours on paper, focusing on the delicate expressions and details that define the Guler style of art.

A family of peacocks brought to life through the vibrant patterns of Gond art. This tribal style from central India uses intricate lines and dots to tell stories of nature, and I love how it connects us to the natural world.

The cosmic dance of Mahadev, captured in a moment of powerful energy. This acrylic on canvas painting shows the Tandav, where every brushstroke is filled with devotion to Lord Shiva. Har Har Mahadev.

Here you can see the 'mehnat' that goes into a large commissioned piece. This video shows me carefully layering acrylics to build up the skin tones and textures for my painting on ancient Ayurvedic healing.

About Featured

When you commission a piece, you are getting more than a painting. Whether I am working on a massive 6 by 7-foot canvas or a delicate miniature, I treat every brushstroke as an act of prayer. My process involves careful layering of acrylics or earth pigments, and I ensure every detail, from the jewelry in a Pahari painting to the skin tones in a portrait, is handled with patience. If you have a vision for your space, send me your idea and I will tell you which style suits your theme best.
