I grew up in Mumbai city, a busy bustling city in India within a large united family. My childhood memories contain rituals, mythological stories, exotic ﬂowers and intricate temple carvings. Waterfalls and mountain picnics took me on a fantasy adventure. Graduating from Sir JJ Institute of Arts deﬁnitely was a great milestone for me but my base took shape much earlier in life where I went to mountain sketch, illustrated temple carvings, sketched life forms in zoos, marketplace etc. I loved using diﬀerent materials to experiment like wire, cloth, wood, clay, buttons and made everything from animal houses to backpacks to it all. Through my art I want to talk about forgotten stories and mysteries that awaken our introspection. I want the audience to be mindful about Maya – the attachment we hold and the grip we are woven into. I want to experiment with diverse materials in the near future but keep my unique projection of the world alive – a world driven by Maya. The purpose of creating art is to talk about things greater than human understanding, to leave behind a message far greater than us. Art should lift your spirits and create an insatiable thirst to relive stories untold and how each story adds to another and how our stories too are linked to them in ways unknown. In my ‘Hanumanji and Maya’ series I bring out forgotten stories, mythology that we wonder on with how and why. I have tried to make the imagination of these stories visually interesting with an Indian yet modern touch. My art still holds an old world charm that works like a Time Machine taking you to the past yet reminding you of your roots in the here and now.
