A selection of my work that spans from large-scale murals to personal sketchbook studies. These pieces show how I blend traditional drawing with digital finishes to tell stories.

This graphic mural was a project for the Netflix headquarters in Mumbai. The goal was to create a nook inspired by the city's vibrant street corners, integrating themes from Netflix shows. It was a joy to bring the chaos and energy of a Mumbai gully to life on such a large scale.

This is the cover for 'Karanje', a Marathi children's storybook I had the pleasure of illustrating for Pratham Books. Creating warm, expressive characters that connect with young readers is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

A colored pencil portrait of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker. Capturing such a complex and intense character was a challenge I really enjoyed. This piece is a good example of the realistic, detailed portrait work I can create for you.

'Forest of Enchantment', a digital illustration created in Procreate. I love building intricate, symmetrical designs that draw you in. This piece combines my love for nature and detailed line work, showing what's possible with digital tools.

A full spread from my sketchbook, drawn live at Chor Bazar in Mumbai. This is where my process begins, with pen on paper, capturing the people, objects, and feeling of a place. These raw sketches are the foundation of my more polished work.

Titled 'Aren't we all children of God?', this piece was created to reflect on the human cost of conflict. I believe art can speak on important social issues, and I offer conceptual illustrations to help visualize powerful messages for articles or campaigns.

This reel shows my process of turning a quick observation on a train into a finished piece. I saw a girl finding comfort in her hoodie and felt compelled to sketch her. It shows how I use markers and ink to bring a simple moment to life.

An anatomy study from my sketchbook, exploring the human form using colored pencils. A strong understanding of anatomy is crucial for creating believable characters and figures, and I'm always practicing to keep my skills sharp.

About Featured

When you look at my mural or portrait work, you are seeing the result of a process that starts with ink and paper. I do not just jump to digital tools because I need to draft by hand to keep that raw, wiggly line quality, which I then refine digitally for print or wall application. Whether it is a 150 sq. ft. mural or an A3 portrait, I stick to this workflow to ensure the final piece feels human and grounded.

Art, for me, is storytelling in its most intricate form.
