Shraddha
14.5 x 14.5 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 45,000/-
Gold Award - My Best Work 2024 - Camelback Gallery (USA)
Shraddha evokes the faith that inspires the timeless tradition of floating a lamp in the river. The Dona or leaf-bowl as the fragile receptacle holding the brightly dancing flame of hope and offerings, seems to me almost like a floating beacon in the inky darkness of the river at night. Contained, yet exuding a powerful intensity of energy and prayer. This floating dona-lamp is imbued with multiple meanings in Indian culture – a prayer, a symbol of hope and wishes and a homage to our ancestors - a simple yet powerful image of the essence of Indian spiritualism and our lived heritage.

Mangal
14.5 x 14.5 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 45,000/-
The Diya is iconically Indian. For us, the diya is wisdom, it's blessing and it's prayer. Especially when accompanied by marigold flowers, the brass oil lamp is symbolic of auspiciousness and is a wish for all-round welfare. It is this aura of warmth and positive energy that I have tried to infuse into this painting.

Jyot
14.5 x 14.5 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 45,000/-
The oil lamp or Diya is a true representation of India - traditional yet contemporary, ancient yet enduring, common yet iconic.

Swaad
41 x 38 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 220,000/-
Boynes Still Life Award (Australia) 2024
Swaad is a celebration of Indian culinary culture. My painting focuses on those spices that are true natives of our country - black pepper, turmeric, curry leaves and red chilies. Hand-pounded in a brass mortar pestle has been the traditional way to release these aromas into our cuisine.
The warmth and color of Indian food comes alive in this rich composition that also celebrates our use of traditional materials like brass. As always, this is Dutch style still life painted with an Indian heart.

Drishti
43 x 30 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 190,000/-
Bronze Award Realism 2021 - Camelback (USA)
Common objects in our life speak of our deepest beliefs - as illustrated by my painting Drishti.
It showcases an age-old Indian symbol intended to ward off the so-called 'evil eye' - one or two lemons strung together on a black thread with seven green chilies.
A very common feature of our modern lives, the lemon-chili nazar-battu is is deeply rooted in Indian culture and way of life.
In this composition here, a freshly strung together lemon-chili nazar-battu glows bright and auspicious in a small copper bowl.

Greeshma
33 x 40 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 160,000/-
The heady scent of ripening mangoes makes my Indian summer most welcome.
Yellow and red, tinged with green or orange with cheeks blushing pink to even deep red; mangoes are truly the king of fruits - lusciously sweet and juicy. This photorealistic painting of mangoes on a copper plate are an ode from an ardent mango lover. The multi-layered technique of the Dutch masters with super thin layers of glaze lend this painting their depth of color and warmth.

Nrittya
44 x 29 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 165,000/-
India is a country of many diverse dance forms and traditions. But it is the ankle-bells or ghungroos that are common across different Indian dance forms. Captured here as if left behind in the deep low lights backstage, the ghungroo is the ultimate symbol of Indian Nrittya – sacred to any dancer in India.

Shringaar
33 x 48 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 225,000/-
My painting 'Shringaar' depicts a few traditional Indian elements of a lady’s toilette – elaborate kemp jewellery, gold bangles, a red saree and red kumkum powder to mark her forehead – all laid out ready for her use. Red and gold are the colors of prosperity and are very important in the adornment of brides and married Indian women.
This painting is a Dutch-style Indian still life painting - that showcases common objects with a view to highlight the deep cultural associations and symbolism inherent in their presence. This painting is automatically 'India' - with its richness of color, the saree as garment, craftmanship of the ornanments and the antique peacock sindoor-dani. It speaks not only of our ancient traditions, but of their thriving presence in our contemporary lives. Each pearl painstakingly painted to be truly photorealistic, this painting was a labour of love over 420 hours.

Serendipity in Pondicherry
24 x 28 inches - oil on canvas - Rs. 120,000/-
When an auto-rickshaw drives past, you know you are in India. But when an auto-rickshaw drives past a street with yellow colonial-style houses, it can’t be anywhere but in Pondicherry or Puducherry.
Famous as ‘the French Riviera of the East’ Pondicherry’s history as a French colony is charmingly evident in the French Quarter – with its cobblestone streets and yellow houses built in a distinctive blend of French and Indian architectural styles.
I find this visual where the auto-rickshaw drives down a shaded avenue towards the welcoming warmth of the sun-drenched French Quarter highly evocative. To me, it suggests the meeting of the old with the new, the West and the East, the lasting influence of our history in our present. And it is pure serendipity that, as I strolled past these quaint empty streets on a sleepy afternoon; an auto-rickshaw should drive past to remind me that I am still in the India of today.

36 x 26 inches - mixed pencils on paper - framed behind anti-reflective museum glass - Rs. 130,000/-
158 hours of humbling work here to capture just a mere glimpse of the marvel that is the Kailasa Temple at Ellora. Unrivalled for its size, scale and brilliance of architectural and sculptural achievement, the Kailasa Temple is a true UNESCO World Heritage Monument - and a showcase of ancient Indian prowess like no other.
The presence of the monk in his brilliant orange robes on the day when I visited the Ellora temple was pure serendipity - a fitting tribute to the massive influence of Buddhist art and tradition in the Ellora cave temple sites.

Serendipity in Goa
20 x 38 inches - charcoal & graphite on paper - Rs. 90,000/-
Over my travels, it has struck me that some of my best experiences and captured moments result from something beyond that which can be planned. True magic is often the result of serendipity.
As seen here, this view is a poignant image of Goa - of its weathered forts next to beaches, of the solitude and independence it offers, and even of its thriving Christian culture.

Shadows
34 x 29 inches - charcoal & graphite on paper - Rs. 150,000/-
Mumbai City Award for Drawing - 2019
This lady from the North Eastern hills of India stands in part shade, and light plays its game of shadows with her. Her expression is clouded over, very like the ‘abode of clouds - Meghalaya’ where she hails from. The variances in delicacy of texture from skin to wool to lace, make this photorealistic charcoal and graphite drawing truly come alive.
