My interest for painting grew when I was about 14 years old, when I came across books about Frida Kahlo, Amrita Sher Gil and the Guerrilla Girls. Thats when I understood that art isn't just a practice of creativity but also a medium of narration. I then realised that this is what I want to do. Narrate stories of the people, and shed light on the atrocities of society. As an artist my purpose is to give a voice to the the unheard voices of India. Growing up in an Indian household taught me many things, and I was raised in an environment of influential figures. I can proudly say that the household helpers, the fruit and flower vendors and the common people I meet on a day to day basis taught me more about life than school ever did. My artistic style is influenced by my cultural background and heritage, and I use that to make a statement in my artworks. I am a frequent participant in community based projects and focus on providing a platform for the people to inspire through their stories. My works revolve around the themes of culture and femininity. I work with various mediums such as Painting, sculpting, installations and works that involve projections.
I look forward to working with different people and their ideas.
