Painting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It began with scrapbooks, crayons, and sketchbooks scattered across my childhood, but somewhere along the way it became something much more than a hobby. Today, painting is how I slow down and make sense of the world around me.

​

I paint because I notice things—the way sunlight settles on an old building, the way a street vendor carries himself, the particular green of a parakeet's nape, the colour of a wall that's been painted over too many times. I'm endlessly inspired by Indian streets, birds, botanicals, and the beauty hidden in everyday moments that often go unnoticed. While I enjoy experimenting with different mediums, Watercolour is the medium that best keeps up with how I see the world. They capture light before it changes and embrace imperfections rather than hiding them.

​

The pandemic gave me the time and space to paint consistently again, and in that quiet period I rediscovered not only my love for art but also the kind of stories I wanted to tell. I emerged with a body of work that felt more honest and unmistakably my own.

​

As an introvert, sharing my work has never come naturally. Every painting feels a little like handing someone a page from my journal. Yet it's through those paintings that I've found connection—with people who see pieces of their own memories, homes, or stories reflected in mine.

​

Whether it's an original watercolour, a custom pencil sketch, or a hand-painted wearable piece, I hope my work encourages you to pause, look a little closer, and find beauty in the details we usually rush past.
