The focus of my work is the point where classic Indian imagery intersects with a minimalist aesthetic. Constantly I am documenting, collecting and archiving images of landscapes, miniature portraiture, and classic Indian cinema from various sources. I then use these vestiges from my culturally rich past as a platform for evoking a contemporary dialogue that re-interprets and re – invents Indian creative heritage. Each image is manipulated by hand in the dark room and art studio. I paint the artwork with chemicals which allows me to erase the image leaving only the essential elements. By incorporating other mixed media methods, I place these classic images in a contemporary context. Technology and tradition collide and then merge. I think of my art as alternating notions of time and space by pairing archaic refinement with modern austerity.
