I am a fine artist born in India and now living in the UK. Art has been my passion since I was quite young; I started with drawing faces and figures of people around me. After a career in computer graphics and animation, I have now devoted myself to paint full time. In last few years, the focus has shifted to wildlife paintings and animal portraits. England offers an abundance of open green spaces, nature and wildlife and I draw inspiration from it. Watercolour is my medium of choice for its spontaneity and freshness, but I also work in acrylics, pencil, pastels and oils. When I am not painting portraits, I am happy exploring colour and texture through abstract painting.
