Firstly where are you from and where do you live now?
I grew up in the northern part of India and I’m currently working in New Delhi.

I commonly use cut and paste techniques followed by detailing and stitching.
How do you describe your art?
I would like to describe my work as a sustainable representation of art through materials that are mostly neglected by the society.

Creating a piece starts with collecting fabrics from different people which I further develop into a well thought work of art.

A bigger piece takes approximately 80-90 days depending on the number of colours used.

My artworks can be bought through art galleries and/or directly through emails.
