My paintings are the beauty of the Woman, including both external and internal beauty: the body, Curiosity and spirit, along with perceived attributes such as goodness, tenderness, devotion and patience. I am working with mixed media works especially forms from nature. These have been an important and recurring motif in my works. Through these I would like to depict my personal thoughts. The themes are based entirely on human emotions and feelings of day to day life and moods. I could understand and appreciate the linear decorative aspects as well as the rhythmic articulation of form in defining and narrating conceptual ideas. My work are captured dreams, colorful, simple and evocative, they capture the spirit of urban and rural India in all its glory, the beauty of nature, graceful figure of a city and village lass, a visage that is full of surprise and coyness which appears to steal a desire from the encapsulated frame to captivate the spectator. I weave my works with colors that speak silently, beckoning the viewer to an inner world of magic that lulls and soothes the spirit. All my works capture the spirit of humanity, and simultaneously along with all this I always liked to experiment with new material to achieve required affects. My work is related deeply with nature and shows in the shapes and forms. My compositions and forms create a mysterious image out of the glorious nature. There is a sense of mystery all around in nature in all its beauty and glory. I have tried to capture these aspects in my works.
