My work reflects my interest in the isolation of colour and how colour sets images within the subconscious in motion. My pieces develop spontaneously and are intended to reflect my life's journey.
My paintings are my narrative, yet I do not wish to tell a story. I merely wish to evoke an emotional response in which the viewer receives a unique, personal experience.
In order to elicit a truly personal reaction, I have discarded titles. I feel that titles would only sway the viewers into believing that they should be seeing something that may not be there for them. This is not my desire.
I have been influenced by three schools of art emphasizing the modernist perspective. These influences have been fused with both the cultural influences of my present surroundings, as well as the traditions of my Indian ancestors. These juxtaposed influences provide the unique perspective of my work.
I do not wish my work to become the only thing that describes me. My works are more than just an expression of my heritage. They are threads between my journey and yours.
