Having grown up in a country that exhibits rich diversity in terms of its culture, tradition and religion, I have observed unmatched happiness on people's faces as they come together to celebrate festivals. I am captivated by the fascinating beauty of nature and often portray images of landscapes and life in the countryside. I portray happiness as the main theme in all my paintings through a blast of vibrant colours in the background that depict general cheerfulness and excitement. My paintings invoke a sense of calmness as my images reflect joyous and serene subjects that are aimed at spreading the message of inner tranquility. Be it a lively festive or an alluring landscape, ultimately I wish to bring cheer to the viewers.
