Mixed-Media & Collage Art

A serene seascape created with torn paper collage. The different shades of blue paper form the ocean, while a simple figure looks out from a green hill, showing how simple shapes can create a powerful scene.
A close-up look at a mixed-media portrait on brown paper. I used paint for the face and hair, and a collage element for the intricate earring, blending different techniques in one piece.
This is a collage I made titled 'Shaadi ka Laddu'. It combines torn newspaper, images, and hand-lettering to create a playful and layered commentary on marriage and honeymoons.

An abstract collage created from torn, painted paper and simple line drawings. This piece is an example of how I play with shapes and colors to create whimsical, imaginative figures.
A collage titled 'Sowing the seed for a bright tomorrow'. I used torn paper to create the form of a person planting something, capturing a moment of hope and new beginnings.
Another one of my random collages, this time depicting two birds flying over a green landscape under a purple sun. The torn edges of the paper add a lovely texture to the sky and land.

About Mixed-Media & Collage
I rarely start with a blank white canvas. My process often begins with the texture of a torn newspaper, a page from a vintage book, or fabric scraps that have lived a previous life. I layer acrylics, ink, and these found elements until the image starts to emerge. If you have a collection of meaningful items or just a concept you want to capture, I love transforming those fragments into a single, cohesive piece that holds personal history and depth.
My approach to mixed-media art is deeply personal and intuitive. It is about letting go of perfection and finding beauty in the unplanned. I often combine traditional portraiture or landscapes with tactile elements, like collaged faces, embroidered thread, or handwritten text, to give the viewer more to hold onto than just paint alone. For me, this medium is the perfect way to document a mood or a memory. Whether it is a portrait featuring an earring made of found paper or a landscape born from torn blue hues, every element has a reason for being there. We can work together to turn your ideas or items into a narrative piece. From choosing the surface to deciding which layers tell your story best, the process is a collaboration. It is not just about making art, it is about creating a dialogue between the viewer and the materials.
