A multidisciplinary schizoaffective artist from Mumbai and Bangalore, India.
My tryst with art began the first time I read a book on Dali at the friendly neighborhood bookstore in Mumbai that allowed patrons to read books in the store.
Books that I could never afford, on Picasso, Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Monet, van Gogh, among other masters.
As an artist, my story is one of persistence against all odds . In 2011 I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, but rather than a hindrance I believe it works to shape my unique understanding of life, and seeing the beauty in the banal and divinity in the dull.
My mind is extremely focused, but also warped and highly impressionable. It is deeply influenced by spirituality, the humanities, and Indian mythology with social activism sometimes. I like the viewer to experience a deeper meaning of life.
I apply references from scriptures and popular culture (e.g. rap) as talking points. Bold, bright colors, abstract expressionism, and mixed media come as second nature to me.
My themes are based on my own spiritual practices and experiences. I draw inspiration from Indian mythology and try to draw abstract from the same. I paint with bold and bright colors because I am a colorful person! :-) I like to exaggerate the colors I see around me in India.
I am open to a discussion on Pricing.
Also, 10% of all proceeds will go to a Charity of your choice!
THE CHAKRAS.
SERIES I
Each of these Chakra Paintings corresponds to a particular region in the body according to the system of Kundalini Yoga.
Keeping the colours and key words traditionally associated with the chakra I have painted each of these with the intention to balance out that particular energy center in the body of the viewer.
