Last year in September I had the chance to paint a commissioned portrait that was effortless to paint but the hardest on my emotions. I cried for two straight days and then just took a break from painting memorial portraits. But god works in mysterious ways… Binu, Sakhis’ mother asked if I would be able […]
I have just wrapped up my solo show Déjà Vu, of works inspired by nature at ‘The Bangalore Room’ here in Bangalore. It was two days of absolute delight – not just because I sold a few works but because I met so many people. Some I knew and some I met for the first […]
As you all know I have just concluded my solo show of nature-inspired artworks a couple of days ago. I thought I would share the artist’s statement here with you… “Welcome to my new collection, Déjà Vu, a wild place in the heart where illusion and reality converge. These works showcase my journey through time, […]
Hello! I am thrilled to let you all know that I just successfully concluded a solo show of artworks inspired by nature. I titled the show Déjà Vu. Here’s why – Life threw everything and the kitchen sink at me a couple of years ago. It was really heavy going for a while there. I […]

Neo 20×20 inches Acrylic on canvas . This beautiful munchkin is Neo. I love the expression in his eyes. I had the pleasure of painting his sister Maggie in 2017. So when @arpita asked me to paint a portrait of Neo it was a no-brainer. Arpita requested I paint him the same size as Maggie […]
Payal called to remind me of a kettle I had painted for her husband and her ten years ago. It was a commemorative piece to celebrate 10 years of their togetherness. Five while dating and five being married. She now wanted another piece that would celebrate 20 years of their being together. Of course, a […]
