Life on the edge, 2026

 Measurements -100x95cm

My first painting from this new collection since leaving the rooftop in Pushkar..
Stairs are never really about the destination they’re the in between. The place where you’ve left one thing and haven’t yet arrived at another.
The layers of saffron, dusky pink and terracotta, the worn lattice stencilling, the Hindi script half-absorbed into the plaster ; this painting felt alive from the first mark.
The langur monkeys arrived last, settled at the top of the climb, unhurried and completely at ease with the threshold itself.
Life’s bigger transitions have a staircase quality. India keeps reminding me there’s a particular grace in that middle place ..and sometimes, unexpectedly, it’s where the most beautiful work comes from.
