My style is based on the non-objective modern expressionist movement that originated in post-WWII New York. I work in an intuitive manner exploring line, form and color, but without a goal in mind. “My upbringing in colorful India, and my training as a physician and scientist, inspires me to meld colors and shapes on the canvas to create organic forms that spontaneously engage viewers. The finished painting evolves from the layers of paint I add to each piece. Some works may have as many as half a dozen layers that add to the perception of depth. “Though the combination of lines and shapes may be perceived in my art by the viewer as a certain object, this is rarely by design.

I moved to the Central Coast of California, where I fell in love with rolling hills that reach to the sea and began to pursue lifelong dreams of becoming a professional artist. The local landscape has had a profound impact on the artwork I create in oil. “My style is representational, utilizing a glazing technique of many thin layers to create a translucent effect that provides depth and emanates light from my paintings. My current body of work has been inspired by the powerful movement of the sea and magnificent coastline. “During the last thirty-five years. I’ve become an award winning artist, a member of The Portrait Society of America and Oil Painters of America.”
