I am painter from India.  

I am living and art practising Mumbai city from 1995.

Educational qualification: BFA fine art painting from J.J. School of art 1995.

.About my art practice :

I was impressed by the humorist approach of Charlie Chaplin and all artist who portrays themselves in all media, that's strong influence on my art.

I wanted to do away with the heaviness of intellectualism generally convey.

art is an expression that is considered to be an intellectual property. 

so, I came up with the term "funtellectual" to express myself. 

my art is inspirations from theatre presentation, like acting, posturing, miming, drama, movies rather than tradition. 

I have created my own style called "Funtemporary art" in addition to drawing attention the genre highlights a recent development in the Indian art. 

the irony is the highlight of my expression by portrays myself to play different characters on canvas, like one act play theatre. 

I am using images of my body to create different visual. so, it's not just self-portrait it's more beyond that. 

the expressions are not merely contemporary but rather "funtemporary" and the satirical annotation that emerges from it is particular.

I have done eight solo exhibition & participated many group exhibition, art camp in India & abroad.
