I am fond of painting although I am into advertising field. I love to paint on spiritual subjects especially. Lord Ganesha is my key source of motivation. It inspires me to do paintings on Lord Ganesha and also gives me unending zeal and energy. In this series, I have drawn some paintings on topics which are presented in semi-realistic style and few of them are based on abstract style. I have experienced & realized while painting that 'Lord Ganesha' is the only mentor of my life.

I have explored Lord Ganesha’s incarnations under different titles like Urjaa, Karta, Daata, Bhakti, Modakpriya, Ashtavinayak. Lord Ganesha’s strengths, likings & contribution have been exclusively presented through these paintings. There is a suitable colour balance you will observe in these pictures even though bright colours have been used primarily. There are few paintings on Lord Buddha which are done in semi- realistic style. These paintings mainly talked about crux of life, stories, morals, incidents which took placed in Lord Buddha’s life. My attempt is to always try to follow spirituality and convey these thoughts through my series of paintings.
