This painting, “Spirituality,” represents a quiet moment of inner peace, devotion, and self-reflection. The central woman is seated peacefully beneath the tree, suggesting a state of calmness and connection with herself and the world around her.
The deep, earthy colours and warm golden background create a peaceful and sacred atmosphere. The large tree represents strength, stability, life, and a connection between the earth and the spiritual world. The falling leaves suggest the continuous cycle of life, reminding us that change and transformation are natural parts of existence.
The woman’s closed eyes and composed posture express meditation, silence, and inward reflection. The prayer beads (mala) in her hands are an important symbol of spirituality, devotion, and the search for inner balance. The small traditional elements placed beside her further connect the work with Indian cultural and spiritual traditions.

This artwork presents Ravana as a symbol of the complex human mind. His ten faces represent different emotions, desires, thoughts, and inner conflicts that exist within every individual. The meditative central figure contrasts with the intense expressions surrounding him, suggesting the constant struggle between self-control and the many voices of the mind. The face beneath further reflects the darker, uncontrolled side of human nature.
This portrait captures a young local actor portraying Krishna, exploring the meeting point between mythology and contemporary identity. Through my distinctive roll-work technique, the familiar image of Krishna is reinterpreted through layers, rhythm and texture. The work reflects on how timeless cultural narratives continue to find new expressions through the faces and stories of the present.
This Devi Puja captures the quiet, intimate core of the ritual - not the procession, but the aarti itself. The Devi, crowned and garlanded in gold on a green velvet asana, radiates light from many diyas. Around her, five women embody different roles: the musician with tuntuna and dhol, the elder in white veil praying, the mother teaching her daughter, and two younger women offering flowers. Their sarees - pink Ilkal, red paithani border, green patchwork - are painted with bold folk patterns. A small boy with topi prays at left. Rendered in your signature dark skin, yellow-red tilak and temple-red backdrop, it is about women as custodians of faith, where devotion is shared, not performed.
Devadasi documents a ritual that is disappearing - the woman who carries the goddess. The central figure, dark-skinned with intense red-yellow bindi and white-orange saree, balances the Devi on her head with one hand, a flower basket in the other. Around her, seven women musicians in green, yellow and patchwork Ilkal sarees play folk instruments, two little girls in red and blue hold offerings, and two boys in Gandhi topi watch. Shopping bags at their feet show the sacred meets the market. Painted in semi-cubist rural contemporary style in 2025 and SOLD, it is a powerful tribute to women who embody both art and devotion in North Karnataka.
celebration of faith, femininity and folk music from rural Karnataka. In a temple courtyard, five women musicians - marked by dark earthy skin and luminous yellow kumkum - are immersed in devotional performance. A young devotee and child witness the ritual, with a basket of offerings, oil lamps and betel leaves placed before the Devi idol. Rendered in my signature semi-cubist style with bold lines and flat color planes, the painting juxtaposes the sacred (temple shikharas, bells) with the everyday (the cloth bag, the leaf plates). It is about how community, music and mother goddess remain inseparable in village life.
This 2026 Devi Puja is one of your most composed and balanced works. At the top, temple bells hang under a neem tree. Below, seven women form a semi-circle: one with blue saree and dotara, two central singers in orange and white, a central elder in black-red saree with tuntuna, and others with flowers. Their black faces with triangular yellow-red tilak, nath and heavy necklaces are rendered in your signature semi-cubist style. At the bottom, a Devi photo in a wicker basket glows, flanked by a girl in green and a boy in pink topi with manjira. Diyas, pooja thali and flower baskets complete the ritual. It is a complete portrait of how women lead kirtan, children learn it, and the goddess lives in a simple basket.

This painting is based on the wudu tank of Juma
Masjid. Many old mosques once had large tanks
like these, which played an important role in daily
life and worship.
Over time, many of these tanks have also become
home to fish and turtles, adding to the character
and atmosphere of the space. This particular tank
also has koi fish and turtles, although they were not
very visible when I observed the scene.
What attracted me most was the light, the
reflections on the water, and the quiet rhythm of
the place. The changing reflections, combined
with the surrounding architecture, created a
composition that I felt compelled to paint.
While this tank has its own history, my interest was
not only in this specific place but also in the idea
of these old wudu tanks and the role they once
played within mosque life
This painting is inspired by the interior of
Juma Masjid during Asr prayer time, when the
sunlight takes on a warm golden quality
before sunset. Although this particular part of
the mosque does not receive such direct light,
I chose to introduce that golden atmosphere
intentionally to evoke the feeling of Asr and
the mood associated with that time of day.
What interested me was not only the
architecture itself, but also the way light can
transform our experience of a familiar space.
By bringing the warmth of the evening light
into the interior, I wanted to create a quieter
and more contemplative image. This painting
also marked the beginning of my interest in
exploring Juma Masjid through different
conditions of light and varied compositions.
