About Myself
Growing up in a small village of eastern India I developed a keen attachment with natural serenity since my childhood. I carried my childhood creativity and imagination using sand, soil, colors of charcoal, flowers & leaves. The inner world of dreams and affinity with vibrancy of natural beauty depicts the shape and uses of colors in my artworks. Though I couldn’t get opportunity to formally complete any art college degree but that hardly comes to my way to follow my dreams and put colors on it.

Working in Acrylic on Canvas, my favorite expression comes in the form of contemporary semi-realistic work covering the Hindu mythological segment and in abstract forms. The deep reach tone of colors gives my all paintings a strong physical presence. Through my paintings I try to tell stories and to communicate with the external world, beyond any boundaries of languages, cultures, religions.
I have bagged many appreciations and critics for my form of artworks and successfully creates my own signature style. I have participated in many national and international level workshops and exhibitions and grabbed prestigious awards multiple times to my credit.
