Artist Statement: I paint dynamic geometric Indian figures in vibrant colors of acrylic . My Civil Engineering experience has greatly driven my approach to Cubist art. My style is inspired by construction.
My current series is a visual archive of inherited values and family traditions, expressed through Indian threads and fabrics. Threads in my work are not just colorful strings but metaphors for resilience, migration and adaptation. And yet holding on to cultural identity.
Fabrics go beyond their functional use, inviting its viewer to step into the echoes of their past, relive emotions, or even reinterpret their own cultures and histories. In my new series threads meet my love for cubes.
