I am a visual Mixmedia artist based in Mumbai, deeply influenced by the rhythms and intelligence of the natural world.

My journey began at Sir J. J. School of Art, where I earned both my B.F.A. and M.F.A. with distinction in Fine Art.

My work is rooted in material exploration and emotional resonance. I work with mixed media—brass, copper, aluminum, wood, clay, ceramics, and found organic elements like banana fibers, roots, leaves, and bark. Each piece or installation I make is a kind of conversation between the rawness of matter and the vulnerability of human experience. What drives me is not the finished form alone, but the process's

collecting, assembling, binding, burning, rusting, weaving. This dialogue becomes visible in the tension of the

forms, in the contrast between fragility and strength, chaos and structure, the wild and the composed. Each work becomes a tactile meditation on ecological cycles, impermanence, and the interdependence of all life forms. I’m drawn to the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—as both a conceptual and visual framework.

Ultimately, my practice is an act of devotion.

It is about honouring nature not just as a source of inspiration, but as a teacher and co-creator.
