Biography

I am an Indo-Canadian artist whose internationally renowned work explores the vast landscape of the human experience. Based in Ottawa, Canada, I create imaginative paintings characterized by emotional coloration and dynamic forms. Each tells a compelling story about what it means to be alive in the world today.

As an artist, I am fascinated by both the natural and social landscapes of the modern world. I aim to paint colorful compositions that speak to diverse audiences on a personal level. Since I was very young, painting has been my passion. While I have an academic background in physics and pursued a career in information technology and business management, I never stopped painting.

Throughout my life, I have independently honed my observational and artistic skills. I also completed an apprenticeship with Ottawa artist Nym Gautama. Today, I draw upon my lifetime of unique experiences in my work, utilizing both the structure of scientific inquiry and the freedom of artistic imagination.
