About Me

Logo.png

I come to art after a life in science, engineering, and academia—a journey shaped by inquiry, precision, and structure. But art, for me, is not a departure from that world; it’s a continuation of it, through a different language—one of line, form, color, texture, and emotion.

I was born and raised in India, where the richness of culture, literature, and tradition formed the earliest layers of my visual and intellectual life. For decades now, I’ve lived in Berkeley and Seattle—places whose light, landscapes, and diverse communities continue to influence the way I see and create.

My work—whether sculpture, painting, photography, or printmaking—is how I now process the complexity of the world: the logic beneath it, the beauty within it, and the connections that hold it all together. In my Ori-hagane sculptures, built without welding, each steel element is precisely cut and interlocked. These forms speak to the idea that strength can come from balance and interdependence—not force.

Art allows me to bring together what I know, where I’ve been, and what I continue to question. It’s deeply personal, but always in conversation—with place, with history, with the viewer. I create to make sense of the world, to tell stories, and to find the quiet logic that exists within its complexity.
Please do feel free to look at my past projects , and do reach out with questions or comments.

If you are curious to know what I did when I was not doing art, please
