I hail from Panchgani in Mahabaleshwar which is blessed with natural beauty. I enjoy exploring them, painting, revisiting finding everlasting novelty at every corner. My painting is an expression of my heart, which depicts the stunning beauty of nature. Sometimes it is mysterious & scary, and the choked expression erupts. It is an outburst of form, extravaganza of colors, mingling and mixing of shades & tints. A painting that engulfs my mind with sheer pleasure.
