Collection: Figurative

My paintings are created in a joyful, vibrant, and celebratory spirit. Through dynamic compositions and expressive forms, I aim to convey happiness, positive energy, and a sense of spiritual harmony. Much of my work is inspired by Indian mythology, where I reinterpret timeless stories such as the sacred relationship between Shiva and Nandi, Samudra Manthan, the creation of Lord Ganesha, and other symbolic narratives. Rather than simply illustrating these stories, I present them through my own contemporary visual language, highlighting their philosophical meaning while expressing them with movement, colour, and emotion. One of the distinctive features of my work is the recurring sense of dance and celebration. Whether portraying Nandi, divine figures, or mythological scenes, I strive to create compositions that radiate life, rhythm, and optimism. Over the years, I have developed my own unique artistic style and visual identity, blending vibrant colours, contemporary aesthetics, and India’s rich mythological heritage to create artworks that are both meaningful and instantly recognizable.

This artwork features Nandi, the sacred bull of Lord Shiva, in a mythological and philosophical setting. The composition is inspired by the timeless bond between Nandi and Shiva. Nandi is shown waiting patiently outside Lord Shiva’s temple, devotedly anticipating His arrival. The moment symbolizes unwavering faith, devotion, and the joy of divine companionship, as Nandi eagerly awaits the chance to dance with Lord Shiva. Through this painting, I have portrayed both the spiritual and emotional essence of their eternal connection.
