Every artwork I create is an experiment and, hence, a new learning experience. I allow my hands to dictate what should be created rather than have a pre-planned blueprint. This is why my work oscillates between reality and abstraction – a highly nuanced vision that transforms into something spectacular.
The painting ‘Eve Cat’ stuck with me to such an extent that I decided to do a second version, depicting what may lie behind the cat, using a wider variety of frames. ‘The Many Sides of the Eve Cat’ acts as an illustration of its convoluting personality traits and emotions that unfold every second it […]
One has goals in life that he/she aspires to accomplish, and each goal has a long and challenging journey behind it. I intended to illustrate this idea in my work. A figure approaches his destination which is indicated by the light above him. He appears to be having his last look at the journey through […]
This picture came about from nowhere on the eve of 2021 – hence it’s called the ‘Eve Cat.’ With this artwork, I simply intended to test my ability to illustrate simplicity and detail. There was no better way to do so than to draw a cat – an adorably simple creature with an equally complex […]
I intended to capture the dynamism and change in energy flow and the exerted force when one performs the downward dog yoga pose.
Art can be interpreted in a myriad of ways. That that the viewer somehow “completes” the work through open-ended engagement or subjective association. The single meaning conferred by me while drawing this artwork can be deciphered like a riddle, one layer after the other, based on your perspective. After all, nothing should stand in the […]
Horses are among my favourite animals, and I simply felt the urge to draw them for this piece. Moreover, up to this point, I had never drawn a horse before. So, I had to give it a shot. Upon completing all four horses and some further touches of filtering and colouring, I ended up with […]
I simply intended to explore what my iPad can do in terms of colours and filters in this piece. Nonetheless, I never expected to arrive at what appears to be a cave encircled with glowing red rocks. I then created two men who are trying to climb out of those rocks. After hours of experimenting […]
Life comes and goes in a cycle – we start it clean and innocent, get messy on the way and find ourselves covered in filth as we edge towards the end. I decided to illustrate this idea in the form of three figures, taking inspiration from the Atlas sculpture. The first figure, clean and clear […]
A friend who is a life-coach had once introduced me to the hypothetical concept of C-PTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), caused by repeated psychological abuse or codependency by narcissists. This disorder is thought to be common across every generation of humans. With this piece, I intended to capture what goes on inside a victim of […]
This piece illustrates the infinite hypothetical realities, better known as dimensions, that exist within our universe. I’ve depicted this in two manners: The tri-coloured triangles divide a creature into three different shades based on their circumstances to suggest the existence of multiple regions within a place. The repetition of that very creature in different shades […]
