“ART IS THE INDEX OF ARTIST MIND”
Nature has always been my inspiration, basically I am from village my father is a farmer. I just memorize my childhood… how I saw nature … I used to play, read, cry, smile in the lap of greenery, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't seem to learn something from the surrounded nature more importantly something about myself. Michael Angelo supposedly said at the age of 87 "Isn't art grand, I'm still learning". So that's why it's reflecting in my works in my own style. I have tried to express my inner feeling through the color, sound, smell, I walk though my paintings, and of course the sound of the birds it's still echoing in my ears.
After my bachelor's I moved to Bangalore for my Masters as our college is situated in out skirts from city, as it gave me the same feeling not exactly my village but little bit similar kind. And still I was enjoying my place… coz of more gardens in the city
