Gaps and cracks in us,
In our relationships.
In our surroundings.
Invisible forces that seem to emerge from nowhere,
and grow exponentially.
Widen the cracks.
Break boundaries.
And turn our lives upside down.
Through these broken boundaries,
Can we see the invisible?
Feel the intangible?
Touch the impossible?

At the core of my creative practice lies the belief that art transforms lives. Using art, science, philosophy and technology, I explore how imperceptible changes in our relationships, and our surroundings and environment can sometimes, suddenly and without warning, turn into seismic shifts which either disrupt our lives, or show us a new way forward.
Our glaciers have begun melting at an accelerated rate, calm rational people suddenly turn irrational. Why?
Is what is "unseen" more powerful than what is visible ?
To explore these ideas, I use a wide variety of media, from discarded materials like glass, mirrors, and eggshells to classic forms like oil paint and modern techniques like generative art. I endeavour to create work that conveys balance through disruption, and gives a viewer a moment to pause, think and be silent.

Originally from India, I began my career in the male-dominated world of investment banking. As I rose to become one of the top two percent of women in the financial sector in London, I increasingly recognized the power of art as a vehicle for social justice. I began to paint alongside my corporate career, eventually enrolling in a Master's degree in Art and Science at Central Saint Martins during the pandemic to observe, interrogate and refine my artistic practice.
My dedication to my craft has earned me recognition and awards from several quarters, including exhibitions at prestigious venues such as Bonhams, Covent Garden, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, and Bozar in Brussels. Additionally, my commitment to social responsibility and sustainability has garnered me high commendations, including the 'Maison Zero, this earth' award by LVMH.
Finally, I donate a portion of the proceeds from my artwork to charity, ensuring that my work not only enriches the world aesthetically and intellectually but also makes a tangible difference in the lives of those around us.
