Man’s relationship with nature has myriad forms. In a society where birds and animals are not only a part of our religious landscape being vahana’s of various gods and goddesses, they are also considered auspicious. However, it is also a fact that we continue to destroy the precious lives and habitats of these creatures we deem so important.

Using a series of allegorical elements and visual narrative tools my works take the form of an instrument of ecological awareness. My extensive research leads us to intricately rendered details of the negative human impact on the bird and animal life. In my paintings I try to light up that many species are facing habitat destruction and are slowly inching towards extinction. I feel their sensations that pass through my mind and try to portray them in a contemporary language in realistic and miniature style.
