Artist's Statement: –

My style is very near to the Indian style of painting. The simplicity achieved in linework and flat color tones normally found in Indian style has impressed me. Hence they find a prominent place in my work. The themes of my work are based on contemporary and modern style and their artistic amalgamation color tones are also suitable to thematic peculiarities.

Hence the linework, composition, and Art color tones synonymous to Indian style of artwork to suit the changes as per the times find a prominent place in my work to suit the thematic and special features.
