My life took a drastic turn at the age of 17 when I was diagnosed with cancer, along with an abnormality in my heart. For the first time, I didn’t have to study—and in that pause, I found space to truly explore art.
Although I initially enrolled in engineering, seeing it as a practical career path, my passion for art eventually pulled me in a different direction—one of self-discovery and creative expression. I was driven by a deep desire to pursue this calling. Even though I had no formal experience, I sought guidance, embraced every opportunity to learn, and slowly immersed myself in the world of graffiti. My determination and commitment helped me develop my skills and build a solid foundation in this dynamic art form.
After completing my engineering degree, I made the bold decision to pursue art professionally. In 2016, I founded my own art company—but fate had other plans. On the very day I officially incorporated the company, I received the news of a relapse. I was now facing the last stage of cancer. What followed were years spent in and out of hospitals, battling not just cancer, but temporary paralysis and avascular necrosis.
Through all of this, I realized that building a career in art could be just as intense and demanding as fighting cancer. I started approaching my artistic practice with the same discipline and strategy one would apply to business. With a vision to elevate the status of art and create meaningful opportunities for fellow artists, I assembled a dedicated team to take on large-scale mural projects—ensuring not only high creative standards but also consistent income for everyone involved.
Today, I continue to navigate physical challenges, but I remain deeply committed to my mission: to build an environment where all artists can thrive, work full-time on their craft, and no longer have to rely on unrelated jobs to support their passion. My company has collaborated with top brands both in India and abroad, and I take pride in the strong presence we’ve established in the creative industry. Resilience and purpose fuel everything I do.
At the heart of my artistic vision is my engagement with surrealism, which I see as both a method and a philosophy. My work is a vivid exploration of the relationship between the external world and my inner consciousness. I draw from memories, dreams, and abstract thoughts to reimagine the familiar and construct alternate realities that challenge conventional perspectives. Each painting I create becomes a portal into a deeply personal, dreamlike universe—rich with symbolism, emotion, and metaphor.
Through these imagined realms, I invite viewers to reflect more deeply on reality and the subconscious. My art is not only a celebration of creative freedom but also a testament to the power of visual storytelling in expressing the intangible.
