Artist Statement
My work
in printmaking and painting unfolds at the intersection of disciplined
craftsmanship and intuitive exploration. Rooted in rigorous academic
training—from my BFA in Chandigarh to a PhD in Visual Art—I have spent decades
refining traditional techniques while pursuing new pathways for expression.
Each print begins as a dialogue between line, tone, and texture, revealing the
tension between control and chance.
Drawing
inspiration from India’s rich visual heritage and my experiences in
international workshops and residencies—from North Macedonia to Sweden—I seek
to create images that resonate across cultural boundaries. My lithographs and
graphic works are gestures of memory and material: the etched plate becomes a
palimpsest of moments, layered with the echoes of past exhibitions and the
energy of live demonstrations.
As Head
of the Department of Visual Arts at Maharshi Dayanand University, I engage
daily with emerging artists, feeding my practice with fresh perspectives.
Whether translating a fleeting impression into a monochrome print or building
complex chromatic fields, my goal remains the same: to evoke curiosity, invite
reflection, and connect viewers with the subtle poetry of form.
Through
these prints, I aim to celebrate the continuum of artistic tradition while
expanding its possibilities—offering a space where technique meets emotion, and
where each mark is both a record of process and an open door to imagination.
