ABOUT THE ARTIST

I do figurative work and the medium used is acrylic on paper or canvas, charcoal, and ink/pen drawings. My works are Bright and the color used is straight from the palette. I enjoy doing bright and colorful work for which I usually choose my theme and theme that has more naturally bright objects and colors such as the outfits people wear, their possessions, the ornaments they wear, their belongings, and the environment where they live and spend most. weather. As an Artist, it makes my work unique among others and the Theme chosen is very interesting to me. In this series of Fortune Tellers/Yogis/Fakirs, they are the people I usually see in temples, Dargah, and pilgrimage places. They spend maximum time near these places and they are very interesting subjects for me to portray and compose on my canvas. I consider them as God's people living under the shelter of God, always seen in and around these places, where people hardly go in this busy time of generation.
