I am an emerging artist based in Mumbai, India working with photorealism for the most part. My art spreads an awareness of the way intimacy integrates itself into the human conscience and that it plays a significant role in propelling it. It deals with human instinct, our feelings, desire or thought to redeem one from oppression led by conservatism and of that which runs unnoticed within our human condition as a whole.

My subjects bare various cultural influences of attitude and expression as I explore sensual subjects and tread on fences. I embrace the female body as a rhetorical component within my narrative. I notice growing disconnections between sexes which have drifted us apart as observed within our timeline of evolution.

My aim is to widen the spectrum of acceptability across societies through intimacy and its relation to the human instinct regarding how we percieve one another. The intention of my work is to demystify the myths behind sex and intimacy and its concerns relating the construct of human understanding and learning.

I toy around using typographic design aesthetics and paint letters in where I feel necessary, embedding these into my working style to address core imports. I see aesthetics in graphic design playing a pivotal role in the structural establishment of the art formations and subject matter I explore, from time to time, allowing for various interpretations to be intercepted into my concept itself.
