“The large scale visuals of the huge infrastructure of the urbanized city, big buildings,
and flyovers have influenced my work. The conflict of urban visual in comparison to my rural
native reflects and impacts the larger than life size images that I represent.”

Born in 1979, the artist received two degrees in B.A. (fine) in painting: one from Patna
College of Art, 1995, and B.A. (fine) in painting from M.S. University, Baroda, 2000; and M.A.
(fine) in painting from M.S. University, Baroda, 2002. He was the recipient of several awards
few of which were Good performance award from Patna College of Arts in 1995 and in 2000
– Nasreen Mohmadni Award from painting, Baroda. He has participated in solo shows in
Baroda, Mumbai and several group shows in Mumbai, New Delhi, Baroda, Kolkata, Hong
Kong, Hyderabad, Bihar, Kolkata. He has also participated in many art camps and
workshops in Ahmedabad, Rangur, Patna, Mt. Abu, Russia, and Indonesia amongst others.

The large canvas of the artist contains the memories of his childhood, his life experiences,
nature and a myriad of symbolism that he creates using layers of paints on screen print on
the canvas. Covering them completely with paints and at times leaving space empty the
foggy effect thus created gives a see through effect to his paintings.

A visual and installation artist, the effect on his canvases is visually stimulating and stylized,
the sombre colours, detailed work stand expression to the daily struggles, and pathos that
the people face in their daily existence in a city life. Although he has also experimented with
clay and graphics painting is his forte and he works with acrylic. Teaching children the artist
finds a newer perspective to life.
