I am an artist whose brush dances between the vibrant chaos of Mumbai, India, and the bold, structured skyline of Chicago, United States. In my canvases, these contrasting worlds merge, creating a visual symphony that reflects my rich cultural tapestry. My artwork serves as a bridge between my Indian heritage and the contemporary art scene, where tradition meets modernity.
Rooted deeply in my Indian heritage, my artistic narrative weaves through the rich tapestries of Indian mythology. Each piece pays homage to the stories that have shaped me, capturing both the divinity and humanity within these ancient tales. Through my art, I reimagine these narratives, bringing gods and legends into a new light and inviting viewers to explore time-honored traditions from a fresh perspective.
My distinctive style is marked by a polygonal technique that brings movement and depth to two-dimensional surfaces. The meticulous stitch lines running through each shape resemble seams, binding stories and visual elements together. This stylistic choice is more than just aesthetic—it symbolizes the interconnectedness of life’s many facets. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, I embrace a palette as diverse as India itself, capturing the vibrancy of my culture in every piece.
The Indian handloom industry, with its intricate weaves and vibrant patterns, has always been a muse for my work. The deliberate stitch lines in my art reflect the precision of a weaver’s hand, honoring the craftsmanship behind the looms. Just as every thread in a handwoven fabric is essential to its integrity, every line in my artwork plays a crucial role in the unity of the whole, paying tribute to this timeless art form.
My art is a confluence of bicultural experiences, Indian mythology, and the intricate craftsmanship of the Indian handloom industry. My canvases are not just artworks; they are stories stitched in colors, shapes, and textures, inviting the world into an experience that is as culturally profound as it is visually striking. In my art, every line is a verse of an ancient hymn, singing praises to the past while stitching its relevance into the present.
