My art begins in silence, in the spaces where words fail, where pain lingers, and where healing quietly begins. Painting has been both my refuge and my rebellion: a way to reclaim what was broken, to reshape memory, and to find strength through creation.
Over the years, I’ve developed a practice that weaves together fragments of tradition and experience. Rooted in the sacred visual languages of my Indian heritage and influenced by the conceptual freedoms of the West.

Womanhood, for me, is not a theme, it is the canvas itself. My work is a response to what it means to be a woman who has endured, a mother who has rebuilt, and a soul that continues to rise. Through visual storytelling, I explore the emotional terrain of trauma, the quiet strength in survival, and the beauty of spiritual rebirth. These paintings are not just images; they are thresholds, portals into resilience, vulnerability, and renewal.
In every piece, I search for a sense of balance between chaos and calm, the ancient and the contemporary, the internal and the collective. I hope that those who encounter my work, especially women, feel seen, held, and empowered. Art has been my way through the dark; now it is my way of offering light.
