Creativity takes courage! I am following my passion for painting. Art is what inspires me and motivates me to express myself visually. I like to paint vibrant and colorful paintings. We live in a world full of tensions. My art celebrates the hopeful and cheerful aspects of life. Acrylic paint being my chosen medium, I like to experiment with different techniques. My romantic paintings have been my best sellers.
Though a self taught artist in contemporary art, I have done a course in folk art painting from Singapore and am constantly striving to refine and upgrade my techniques. I paint on canvas, yupo paper as well as wood. Painting on yupo paper has been very satisfying and challenging at the same time. Yupo is a state of art imported paper and due to its smooth finishing is a challenge to paint on. It is a most exhilarating experience to finish a painting and get the reviews from a viewer. I like to paint various subjects, be it landscapes, abstracts, romantic paintings or still life. I believe in not limiting myself to a particular style and paint as per my mood and feelings. My inspiration can come from a wet umbrella on a rainy day, or a colorful garment. I paint with a motive of achieving colorful harmony on the canvas to make a painting look vibrant.
I am thankful to have collectors from many countries including USA, UK, Singapore and India for my art. Recently American musician Frank Bango has selected my painting ‘A Rainy day II’ as front cover for his latest music album released in New York. My paintings have also been selected in Juried art exhibitions in New Jersey, USA. My work has received high testimonials from art collectors most of who have been repeat buyers. I hope my paintings give as much joy to the viewers as I get creating them.
