Artist, Hyderabad

Oil on canvas, notebook studies and sketches. An ongoing study of rustic landscapes and the instinct behind each medium.
About the artist
A self-taught eye. Always learning a new medium
I’m a self-taught artist based in Hyderabad. Oil on canvas is where I feel most at home, though you'll often find me experimenting with gouache, sketches, and whatever other medium catches my eye.
Creative since childhood, I spent years as a software engineer, running a blogazine and a social media agency before giving myself permission to simply make art. I’m keenly figuring out who I am, as a serious artist, and my instinctive relationship with art & creativity.
