"I come from a small village in Maharashtra, where traditional objects and rural life shaped my early vision. My artistic practice explores these objects and their forms, seeking the subtle beauty in shapes, textures, and colours that carry the legacy of Indian culture. rough my work, I aim to preserve and celebrate these everyday artifacts, creating a bridge between memory, tradition, and visual expression.”
