ARTIST STATEMENT

 

My work unveils the unseen—hidden narratives where nature and humanity intertwine. I paint not just to create, but to reveal—the echoes of memory embedded in landscapes, the weight of unspoken emotions carried in the wind, the imprints of human presence dissolving into the vastness of the world.

Using mixed media, I build layers of texture, color, and rhythm, much like time inscribes itself onto the land—shaping, erasing, and reshaping again. Fabric, paper, ink, and paint merge like remnants of an untold story, capturing the tension between permanence and impermanence, presence and absence, the seen and the unseen.

I call my work humanscapes—landscapes of humanness, where our inner and outer worlds converge. Inspired by my Indian heritage and life in the U.S., my paintings navigate the space between structure and fluidity, solitude and movement, the personal and the universal. They are reflections of our connection to the world around us—where nature is not separate from us, but a mirror of our own hidden landscapes.

Each piece invites the viewer to pause, to look beyond the surface, to sense what lingers in the silence. In a world that often overlooks the unspoken, my work asks: What remains unseen? What stories are held in the textures of time? Where do we end, and where does the world begin?

Through abstracted realism, I seek to uncover these quiet, evolving dialogues—where human experience and the natural world are not separate, but deeply intertwined.
