Artist Statement:

It is not that I create art works, it is the art that gives me life everyday.

After growing up in India, I experienced the mesmerizing beauty of Canadian seasons first time in my early twenties. It was so fascinating to see the leaves go through a life cycle, touching the pinnacle of beauty in autumn. I had worked on portraits until that point and always found myself bounded. Those moments gave my imagination the freedom that I was subconsciously looking for. I had found a subject matter that my soul could connect with.

It took me two years and more than a thousand experiments to find my own way of expression. It had to be unique and equally joyful. I chose to directly connect with canvas through my fingers. When I use fingers to apply paint directly onto the canvas, it makes me feel closer to the artwork with a direct transfer of my emotions and energy. Every stroke of finger tip creates an abstract and unique pattern. Thousands of those patterns combine in a harmonious way to create the representation of my imagination.
