Location: India
Born: 3rd March 1971, Kandhar, Maharashtra State, India.
Education: * B.F.A. (Applied Art) with "First in the Order of Merit"
from Govt. School of Art, Marathwada University, Aurangabad. 1991,
Maharashtra state, India
Areas of work: Abstract Painting, Communication Design & Exhibition Display Design
Presently working: As a Teaching Faculty of Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai Since 1997 till day
My Inspiration: My students are the most important factor of my development. Being a teacher I interact with students frequently. Conversation with students, give me more inspiring thoughts. Their analytical/ thoughtful/ random questions make me learn more and help me keep myself updated. Many a times the colorful attires of students suggest interesting color schemes and compositions. Every year, I meet a new batch of students, talk to them, and interact with them. It helps me stay young in thought and actions. In a way, I give my 10% knowledge and the students in turn give me 90% inspiration. That is why I feel that not a single day of life goes wasted. Because every day I believe I have something good, something worthwhile; be it as a teacher or an abstract painter. That is why every single day of mine is a cheerful day. And I personally believe that the simplest things are most difficult to create.

Lives and works in Mumbai
I believe, The most simple is the best and the simplest things are most difficult to create. I am from a small village of Maharashtra State, India and now I am in metro city, so the amalgams of nature and city life are mirrored in my work … As a child I loved visiting rivers and was fascinated by the reflection of shallow water, trees, the textures of wood, stones and leaves. These developed into frames of reference and manifest themselves as windows and boxes in my work… I frequently use geometric shapes, squares and rectangles. It depicts my current urban habitat. In spite of coming from a rural background I cannot deny the effects of urbanization on me. Hence, my works bring out this very blend of urban and rural India.
As every painting gives me pleasure, so does the medium. Each medium keeps on encouraging me to explore and experiment. All my paintings have given me sublime satisfaction of creation. The feeling of immense joy, which I have experienced, I hope to offer the same to the viewer.
If you carefully go through my painting, you may find various meanings according to your understanding or even the colour, texture, composition or subject might interest you. That is why in order to understand an abstract painting; the point of view is what matters most. Ultimately it is the viewer’s point of view.
