Artist Statement
I paint dynamic geometric figures in vibrant acrylic colors. My background in civil engineering has strongly shaped my approach to Cubist art. Traditions from my childhood inspire me to layer my art with repurposed Indian fabric. Fabric is fluid, while geometric forms are rigid; their transition serves as the metaphor I explore in my works.
