Man at the Studio explores psychological stillness, where deep shadows isolate the subject, representing a silent, meditative presence thriving within the void. Both works move beyond the figure, treating space as a profound repository of unspoken narratives and 'gentle numbness'.

A single gesture is enough to shift attention. Three chimpanzees, united by one shared direction, transform a simple moment into an invitation to look closer. Their expressive, almost human-like presence evokes intelligence, curiosity, and social connection,reminding us that the impulse to notice, follow, and respond is not uniquely human. Set against a vibrant mint-green backdrop, the monochromatic figures create a striking contrast between the energetic colour field and the quiet intensity of the chimpanzees. One of the three figures emerges partially in shadow, introducing an element of concealment and ambiguity. The shadow becomes a metaphor for the overlooked: a presence that exists within the composition yet remains on the margins of immediate attention. Paradoxically, what is concealed can become just as compelling as what is revealed. The fly, small and seemingly insignificant against the imposing figures of the chimpanzees, becomes the quiet focal point of this tension,its very insignificance making it worthy of closer attention.

In this work, I portray Mother Teresa through a layered language of rolled paper, transforming the familiar portrait into a textured and contemplative surface. The repeated rolls create rhythm, depth and movement, while the fragmented construction reflects the many small acts of compassion that come together to create a larger human impact. The work is an exploration of portraiture beyond likeness—celebrating humility, service, compassion and the enduring power of humanity.

Thise series investigates 'Dead Space' through a more abstract lens, where human forms and classical fragments emerge from dense layers of pigment. These works treat the canvas as a site of psychological debris, blending historical remnants with contemporary stillness. The heavy textures signify the weight of existence, while the obscured figures represent a silent, resilient presence thriving within the pressurized vacuum of solitude.

My ecology series explores the fragile relationship between nature and the rapidly transforming urban landscape. Through trees, cityscapes, horizons and changing natural environments, I reflect on coexistence, displacement and the need to reconnect with the living world around us. Using layered imagery and new-media techniques, the works create a visual dialogue between the organic and the constructed, inviting the viewer to pause and reconsider our responsibility towards nature.

This is a journey from the outer world toward the boundless silence within one's own inner self. Every form of nature holds a distinct magic. 'Dead Leaves' are not merely debris detached from a tree; they are symbols of nature's sacrifice and transformation. This portrait painting reveals the intricate layers of the human mind. Just as dry leaves fall, blend into the earth, and fertilize the soil, our old memories and experiences build the very foundation of our personality.In nature, the falling of leaves is not death, but a process of rejuvenation. Similarly, old age or memories that seem 'dead' are actually focal points of wisdom. The 'aged face' seen here is not just a symbol of years passed, but a mirror to the subconscious mind—rich with experience and a testament to the journey of time.The wrinkles on the face are like the veins of 'dried leaves,' storing a lifetime of struggle and peace. Dead leaves teach us that even in death, there can be the vibrant colors of life.Those sculptures are like 'Dead Leaves'—no longer green, yet they are the ones that once gave shape to our lives. In this way, having the elderly face at the center represents the 'Self,' while the surrounding statues represent 'Societal memories' (social or familial memories).

The work reflects on how timeless cultural narratives continue to find new expressions through the faces and stories of the present.

In This body of work is rooted in my ongoing conceptual investigation titled women at the studio part of 'Dead Space. it's not a synonym for nothingness or a mere physical void. rather, it represents a profound, meditative sanctuary where the external noise of the world dissolves. In these paintings, I depict individuals who are not defined by activity or engagement, but by their sheer presence within solitude. This curated isolation becomes a site of internal dialogue, where personal values and singular identities are reclaimed away from societal influences and stereotypes. The textured surfaces and specific academic focus on the figure intensify this state of being, where the physical body remains still, but the internal spirit is intensely active, experiencing what I describe as a 'gentle numbness'—a poetic resilience and peace found only in stillness.

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.

As a painter, I find inspiration in fragments of nature held close for reflection. My work varies from representational to abstract, and I am continuously moving along the continuum between the two.
