After my Diploma from Khopoli Chitrakala Mahavdyalaya, Mumbai University in Art and working as a freelance Fine artist, I became a fine art, oil, and acrylic color painter. Commonly portraying figurative imagery, painterly realistic paintings have received some awards as they have been exhibited in regional and state juried, invitational, group.

I derive my inspiration from nature. As I watch a certain scene, the experience of its beauty takes me to nothingness.  Then I try to express my experience through my painting. This experience inspires me. The great thinker, artist, and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore says,

“By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower”.

It only means the experience of beauty is whole and not in parts.
