Born 1975 in Lucknow, India I am a self taught watercolour artist with a B.A. from India and a PGD from London. I started painting at the age of 2, when I won my first painting competition. I developed a hobby of animation drawing while in school which grew into a serious past time. My love for colours was noticed by everyone in various local exhibitions and competitions I took part in as a child. I feel inspired by the works of early 16th – 17th century European artists. I have also been influenced by Russian artists of St. Petersburg, a place close to my heart for its immense beauty and talent. I was approached by British Fine Art Gallery in 2000 to display my works on-line for them. I have been marketing my art work ever since and have met many different artists and celebrities from various fields of art and entertainment through my work. My clients have been from Spain, UK, Italy, Russia and India. My artworks have also been successfully displayed in art exhibitions in UK including 'Perceptions of Woman' at the Smithfield Gallery, London, an autumn exhibition in Bath and at the Laneside Gallery, Ireland. |
