I paint because silence has a colour. Born in the warmth of Gujarat, rooted in the disciplines of Architecture, Interior Design, and Fine Arts, I grew up surrounded by the textures of everyday devotion — the orange of marigolds at a temple gate, the blue hour before the rains, the quiet dignity of faces weathered by sun and story.
For over eleven years, I have had the profound privilege of teaching — nurturing young minds and seasoned seekers alike across institutions such as NID and Navrachana University. Through workshops and classrooms, I have come to believe that art is not merely made; it is remembered into being. Each student who finds their voice reminds me why mine matters.
My work lives in the space between observation and feeling. I blend the precision of contemporary realism with the fluidity of watercolour, the depth of oil, the intimacy of thread and pencil — allowing emotion to seep through the edges of form, imprecise in all the right places. Nature, portraits, the rituals of Indian life — these are not subjects to me. They are language. And through them I hope to offer what all art ultimately offers: the quiet reassurance that someone else has felt exactly this.
I do not paint what I see. I paint what I remember feeling when I saw it — the warm weight of afternoon light on a grandmother's hands, the hush of a bird pausing on a wire, the colour of longing in someone's eyes who is looking at something no longer there. Art, for me, is not representation. It is recognition. The moment a viewer sees a painting and whispers, "yes — exactly that" — that is when the work is complete.
