Brief statement about my work

In our life society and culture play very significant role. However, when these aspects are intermingled with feelings of love, joyfulness, ecstasy and greetings, they hold a place of great importance in our lives..

My works exhibit originality and are influenced by feelings of humanity, happiness and definitely the essence of love.

Our culture holds many values in its womb, which keep on changing from time to time. These features continuously have an effect on our daily life. They are none other than fashion, tradition, lifestyle, dreams and many more. They have gained not only a place in our souls but also respect of the highest order.

My works reflect my feelings not only for my friends but also people who touch my life in the smallest way.

My works are a specimen displaying my thoughts, relations, dreams and desires. Pain and melancholy is one side of the truth of life while love and cheerfulness is the other.

Geometrical shapes such as circle, square, rectangle are related and connected to various forms features of our life. They influence each and every area of our life and symbolize the difference of our life. Figurative images with various geometrical shapes have their own role to play and which do beautifully.
