Artist Statement :

I was inclined towards the world of colours since childhood and the professional training I received at the college of Arts and Craft, Lucknow University gave me strong impetus towards expressing my thoughts by means of colours.

The inherent internal beauty of women and the mesmerizing embrace of nature has always been my inspiration to paint. I have always tried to bring forth the resemblance of nature’s serenity and tenderness of women by means of using vibrant colours and subtle strokes. The changing times have called for changes in portraying various forms of women which I had tried to elaborate by means of the series called "Towards the new world". Presently I am working on a series named "Samarpan" portraying the unintentional and affectionate devotion of women towards her partner, child and family.
