I am an award-winning artist. My passion for art and design has evolved over the course of my life.
Born in Mumbai and now based in Dubai, my love for aesthetics was nurtured in my childhood during family holidays spent visiting museums, where I fell in love with the works of great masters like Da Vinci, Monet, Michelangelo, and Rembrandt.
After obtaining a degree in Business and Finance from Boston University's School of Management, I worked in the real estate industry, gaining valuable experience in residential, commercial, and hospitality developments. I also earned a certificate in Interior Design from the Florence Design Academy in 2004, further honing my skills in design.
In 2018, I decided to follow my heart and pursue my love of art, joining the prestigious Lotus Educational Institute in Dubai to study painting and drawing. Since then, I have developed a unique style that reflects traditional methods of painting with modern appeal and relevance. My works showcase a natural affinity for colors and textures, with every piece conveying a sense of inclusion, positivity, joy, and happiness.
My vast range of works includes portraits, landscapes, and abstract expressionist paintings, with a style that is strongly influenced by the Renaissance and Impressionist Masters. My paintings display a depth, elegance, and beauty that has garnered widespread acclaim and attention from art lovers and galleries alike.
I am very inspired by Ruth Bader Ginsburg's quote on how she would like to be remembered as "Someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability." With this in mind, I paint almost every day and am very dedicated to mastering my craft.
My passion for creating positive change extends beyond my artistry. I believe in the collective power of feminine energy to heal, nurture, and create positive changes in the world. I am dedicated to empowering girls through education and advocating for the protection of nature and animals.
My paintings reflect these thoughts and feelings, making me an artist whose works are not only beautiful but also meaningful and impactful.
Several key
-
Inclusion and Positivity: One of the central themes in my artwork is the celebration of diversity and inclusion. I strive to create pieces that convey a sense of belonging and positivity, where everyone feels represented and welcomed.
-
Joy and Happiness: I aim to evoke feelings of joy and happiness through my art. Whether through vibrant colors, playful compositions, or uplifting subjects, I want viewers to experience a sense of delight and contentment when they engage with my work.
-
Nature and Harmony: Nature often serves as a source of inspiration for me. I believe in the importance of harmony between humanity and the natural world, and I seek to convey this through my art. Whether through serene landscapes or intricate botanical motifs, I aim to highlight the beauty and interconnectedness of all living things.
-
Feminine Empowerment: Another recurring theme in my work is feminine empowerment. I believe strongly in the power of women to effect positive change in the world, and I strive to celebrate and uplift the feminine experience through my art. This may manifest in depictions of strong female figures, themes of resilience and empowerment, or advocacy for women's rights and equality.
-
Emotional Expression: My artwork is deeply rooted in emotional expression. I believe that art has the power to evoke a wide range of emotions and to connect people on a profound level. Whether through introspective portraits, evocative landscapes, or abstract explorations of mood and atmosphere, I aim to create work that resonates with viewers on an emotional level.
