Welcome to my painting portfolio - a curated journey through the many languages of visual expression.
This peaceful landscape painting captures a quiet, contemplative moment in nature. Dominated by a grand, leafy tree in the foreground, the composition opens to reveal a serene lake reflecting the vivid blues of the sky and the dense green forest lining its shores. The framing of the tree, foliage, and path draws the viewer's gaze toward the shimmering water, creating a natural sense of depth and perspective. Purple wildflowers and ferns decorate the forest floor, bringing life and color to the shaded area beneath the tree. The light peeking through the canopy gently highlights the textures of the tree bark and the softness of the forest undergrowth. The mirrored water, still and glassy, conveys a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Show More

Techniques Used:
This hyperrealistic pencil sketch captures the raw emotion of a face drenched in water and tears. The artist demonstrates exceptional skill in rendering light, shadow, and texture. The water droplets are drawn with meticulous attention to transparency, refraction, and surface tension, creating a lifelike, almost photographic quality.
The teardrops and water running down the subject’s face evoke themes of vulnerability, sorrow, and resilience. The glistening highlights and subtle tonal gradients showcase the artist’s mastery over graphite, making each droplet appear threedimensional. The portrait invites the viewer into an intimate emotional experience, blurring the line between realism and emotional expression.
This artwork presents a modern spiritual interpretation of Lord Krishna, depicted with a striking blue complexion, adorned in a regal orange turban with a peacock feather—a traditional symbol of his divine identity. His expression is serene, introspective, and timeless.
At the center of the composition is a white dove, captured mid-flight, symbolizing peace, purity, and transcendence. Behind them, the detailed golden chakra (wheel) —reminiscent of the Dharma Chakra or Sudarshan Chakra—creates a powerful spiritual backdrop, linking the themes of cosmic order, righteousness, and time. The juxtaposition of deep black, vibrant orange, radiant gold, and calming blue creates a balance between spirituality, divinity, and universal harmony. The detailed jewelry and attire reference classical Indian aesthetics, while the overall composition maintains a contemporary, narrative-driven style. Show More

Bold color contrasts enhancing depth and spiritual tone
Detailed rendering of facial expression and ornamentation
Themes:
Inner Light is a serene and powerful portrayal of Lord Buddha, rendered in an expressive blend of cool blues, vibrant yellows, and deep blacks.

Divine Harmony is a symbolic and spiritual composition that blends abstract form with cultural iconography. At the center is a faceless feminine figure holding a traditional Indian musical instrument, possibly a tanpura, seated beside a serene white cow adorned with a red tilak—both deeply embedded symbols of Indian spirituality and pastoral purity.
The faceless figure, rendered in smooth curves and warm tones, suggests the universal divine feminine rather than a singular identity. The dripping brushstrokes and layered textures lend the piece a mystical, dreamlike quality—blurring the boundaries between the real and the sacred. Show More

the subject.

spiritual practice.

Show More
Color & Composition:
The artist employs a striking color palette of turquoise, crimson, ochre, and electric
orange to create contrast and emotion. Geometric fragmentation and clean lines define
the contours of the faces, clothing, and background, creating a rhythmic tension between
chaos and control. The use of bold outlines, symmetry, and color blocking gives the piece
a powerful sense of structure despite its abstract nature.
Symbolism & Interpretation:
Two Faces: Represent the inner self and the outward persona, the conflict or harmony
between thought and action.
Eyes Closed/Open: A dialogue between introspection and external awareness.

personality.

Divine Elegance is a mesmerizing portrayal of a woman who radiates power, mystery, and cultural richness. The figure is adorned with ornate jewelry, flowing henna-like motifs, and a vibrant sari-inspired garment, all of which capture the essence of traditional South Asian femininity and grace.

These structured shapes create a rhythmic harmony, symbolizing community and everyday life.
On the right, a stylized female figure emerges in warm earthy tones, contrasted by a deep green background.

socio-economic context.
