A brief note on his practice:

“I was born in Jalgaon, which is 35 km from Ajanta caves, Aurangabad, Maharashtra. These rock-cut cave monuments have been a treasure in my childhood, an inspiration and a playground. I believe-painting is as breathing, drawing is as living, and art is a way of being for me. I work predominantly in oil and acrylic colours on canvas, and my subjects vary from the personal to metaphoric representations, as I indulge in my signature style of pure drawings, which stretch as paintings, at times life sized, or as notebook notations.
