Artist Bio

My work starts in damp corridors—Scindia School, where anger dripped off the walls and Altaf Mohamedi left fingerprints. I didn’t know it then, but the ghosts followed me to Delhi College of Art. What came out was dark and raw, like someone had pushed a face through plaster. But the Himalayas pulled harder. Water, rush, melt. So now I stitch the rage back together. I use recycled cloth, old wires, and mountain streams turned pigment. Themes hit on sustainability, memory, nature’s pulse, myths woven into recycled stuff. It’s not scream anymore, it’s breath. Not protest, it’s repair. The violence got buried in thread, the memory in weave. Late at night, you can still hear the faint, wet, and waiting echo. I keep feeding it: a landscape one day, an exploded chair the next. Because art isn’t what I show. It’s what refuses to die.

My artworks reflect my journey of capturing dreams and facing unique challenges. I focus on the ‘multiplicity of meaning’ within a pictorial space. I aim for coherence in fluid realms for personal interpretation. My image-making celebrates my intuitive artistry as I explore themes of memory, erasure, and existence through various mediums. My use of lines and colors blurs concepts, offering a unique visual experience.
