In my works, I try to explore & express my ideas about the human being, the male and female relationships using various metaphorical symbols like apple, crow, cactus and many other elements which can be seen in my recent works. The subjects of my works have always been my surroundings and I am still interested in converting my surroundings into Visual Art. For me life has been full of sentiments, emotions and excitements. I have shared my experiences with others through my created visual world and will continue to do so..
