I am a self-taught abstract artist based in London.

My work is inspired by memories of growing up on a working tea plantation in Assam, India, where forests, gardens, and cultivated land were part of everyday life. Growing up on the plantation, I learned that creativity often came from necessity, with people repairing, adapting, and reusing whatever materials were available. As a child, I spent hours collecting and arranging natural materials, developing an early appreciation for texture, form, and the quiet beauty of the landscape around me.

Using acrylic, oil, plaster of Paris, and easy-set concrete, I create richly textured paintings on canvas, wood, and casement cloth. Wood and casement cloth were familiar materials throughout my childhood and remain an important part of my practice.

Many of my paintings are inspired by memories of gardening, walking through forests, and turning the soil. Through layering, scraping, sanding, and rebuilding surfaces, I create works that carry traces of time, labour, and transformation. The textured surfaces often echo the forest floor, weathered earth, and the natural surroundings of my childhood. The physical process of working with plaster and concrete recalls the gestures of cultivating the land, creating a connection between memory, material, and place.

My paintings emerge from remembered experiences of landscape. Through colour, texture, and material, I seek to create works that invite reflection on how places stay with us long after we have left them.

I paint in memory of my son, Jai. Art has also helped me navigate grief, offering a space for reflection, healing, and renewal.
