In words of the artist, "I primarily work with Acrylics on canvas using palette knife and mixed media. The interaction of individuals with the outside world and within their mind inspire me. Perception and a state of trance is an art in itself. I explore different aspects of a persons life whether its their experience in a new city, impact nature makes on them or their own feelings. I believe paintings are about capturing the essence of moments in a unique artistic style. I convey my art stories on my canvas."
