When I was in school arts subjects encourage self – expression and creativity and can build confidence as well as a sense of individual identity,I thought “how artist makes paintings”; hence I decided to become an artist. I was born in Hubbali, Karnataka state and brought up In Surat city, Gujarat state. After completing D.T.T ( Drawing teacher diploma ) from P.A institute in 2009 and B.F.A from Shivaji university, I completed M.F.A in 2018. As far as I see art market, I think, need to create my own art style to make a career in art field. I experiments in genre of Traditional Contemporary art and highly inspired by paintings of Raja Ravi Varma. His paintings regard to Malayalam people of 17th century and reveal their culture and livelihood. The paintings, which depict mythological Hindu deities, mythological characters, tribal life, sometime European style and themes from everyday life.
