Artist's
Statement
I
was born in a family of mixed cultural heritage. Also,
spending my childhood at places as diverse as South Asia
and Europe, I was able to appreciate how people with differences
in their opinions and ideologies can create uniquely beautiful
cultures, yet remain tied with the basic values of humanity.
In my paintings too I try to portray the vivid colors
of the several lively cultures I had been so fortunate
to live in.
