My new collection of large paintings marks a shift in style once again. Whereas earlier work leaned into the brilliance of India—the colour, the intensity, everything at once. Here it’s more refined. Less about capturing it all, more about what stayed. I’m working with a more faded, sun-worn palette now ;softened pinks, chalky whites, and dusted tones drawn from places likePushkar. The focus has shifted toward architecture ; arches, worn steps, textured walls. Each piece still holds a quiet living presence. A cow or a monkey, embedded within the space, part of its rhythm. It’s about balancing structure and life, where the built and the breathing sit naturally side by side.
Semi-abstract paintings drawn from lived experience in Goa are more vivid and inspired by tropicalplants such as banana trees and capture the essence the Indian landscape.
My connection to colour is intuitive and my animals serve as a medium for self expression.
My smaller framed pieces of animals are still very much part of my current work and often created by omitting contextual background. In doing so I am suspending the animal in an aesthetic realm, making it the unapologetic subject and not a substitute or stand in for the human form, but proudly holding its own space.
