“My paintings emerge from an ongoing exploration of the city as a living, breathing entity—an ever-changing confluence of people, places, memories, emotions and movement. Through abstraction, expressive colours and dynamic forms, I seek to capture not merely the appearance of a place, but its inner rhythm and the energy that makes it alive. In Confluence, vibrant strokes of turquoise, cobalt blue, yellow, vermilion and white intersect, overlap and collide across the canvas. The layered gestures create a sense of constant movement, reflecting the complexity of urban life, where diverse experiences and energies meet, interact and coexist. The composition is intentionally open to interpretation, allowing each viewer to discover a personal rhythm, emotion or memory within its visual flow. The Varanasi diptych draws inspiration from the distinctive character of one of India's oldest living cities. Its architectural silhouettes, temple-like forms, pathways and circular elements evoke the city's intricate landscape, spiritual presence and timeless continuity. The dominant reds and ochres, set against vivid blues and turquoise, create a tension between the earthly and the eternal, the familiar and the mysterious. The two panels function as separate yet interconnected visual spaces, suggesting a city whose identity is formed through countless layers of history, faith and everyday life. My approach balances spontaneous brushwork with an intuitive sense of structure. Bold outlines, textured surfaces, fragmented shapes and contrasting colours allow the paintings to move between recognition and abstraction. Rather than documenting a specific location, I aim to convey the emotional experience of inhabiting a place—its intensity, contradictions, vitality and enduring presence. Ultimately, these works are meditations on coexistence and connection. Whether through the free-flowing gestures of Confluence or the evocative architectural language of Varanasi, I explore how different forms, energies and histories come together to create a larger, ever-evolving whole. For me, painting is a process of discovering order within complexity and finding poetry in the restless pulse of life.”
