Artist statement: I paint dynamic geometric figures in vibrant colors of acrylic . I merge fiber with disciplined geometric forms. My Civil Engineering & construction experience has greatly driven my approach to Cubist art. And growing up with family traditions, my art adds layers of Indian threads and repurposed fabrics. It carries traces of history & culture in a unique contemporary style. It invites its viewers from all backgrounds to see their own reflections from the past .
