Born in India and now based in Montreal, navigating life as an only child and a queer person - a very important part of who I am, but not the whole story. My love for art began in Grade 3, when my teacher called me “creative”, sparking a lifelong connection to expression through colour and form.

Though I work as a software consultant today, art remains my truest voice. I take every opportunity I get to travel and explore the world, which gives me a different perspective to express my art. Grateful for every step of this path, I continue to create as a way to stay grounded, honest, and free.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I call my art style "moods" as it is a reflection of the ever-shifting inner world we all carry. Each piece I create is born from a specific feeling, moment, or memory whether it’s calm, chaos, joy, uncertainty, or something I can’t quite name. I don’t follow a set style or palette; instead, I let my emotions guide the process.

Inspired by nature, people, places, and everyday experiences, my work is intuitive and fluid. I use texture, color, and abstract form to express what words often can’t. Every canvas is a personal journey, but I hope it resonates in a way that feels familiar to others like glimpses into their own moods and memories.

For me, painting is a form of release and reflection. I don’t aim for perfection but I aim for honesty. Each artwork in this series is not just a finished product, but a snapshot of who I was in that moment.
