I am a self taught artist. I was drawn to art since I was a child at the early age 10; I remember my first drawing in my boarding school, while all the girls use to play. I started with painting all the greeting cards that was given to me on different occasion, the colors I used was a small box of water colors that my mom had gifted me. I still have those paintings with me; whenever I look at them today it reminds me of my journey as an artist.

 I took a long break from art and started painting again a year and half back. I don’t like to confide myself to any particular style, the most I love is cubic, mix media and abstract. I love combining different styles and creating something new, something that can make people look at different things in a particular art. I have been criticized a lot for my work since it sometimes doesn’t fit into what a certified artist do, as I don’t follow a particular style or rule but creativity has no rules. I have painted walls, furniture’s, pots, glasses, t-shirts basically I like to paint everything not just on canvas. I mostly use acrylic colors as it’s easy to use and the drying time is fast.

I have done one solo show and I mostly do commissioned work on order. I love using a lot of colors, different shape and texture in my work.  I call myself as an abstract artist since it gives me the freedom to express art. I still have a lot to explore and learn about art and my journey as a true artist has just begun and I am all excited about it since I don’t know what’s next.
