I am a painter and graphic artist based in India, deeply engaged in exploring the complexities of human life and the environmental challenges of urban spaces. My work aims to spark dialogue between art and social responsibility, often highlighting themes of human struggle and ecological concern.

My illustrations and artworks have appeared in leading publications such as The Times of India, The New Indian Express, India Today, and The Observer. In 2025, I created an illustration for The Times of India on the Keeladi excavation, depicting a 2,500 BCE human settlement. In 2022, I received the Scribe Tribe Award for Best Illustration from The Times of India, an honor that further fueled my dedication to visual storytelling.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of exhibiting my work in prominent galleries across India and internationally. Notable recognitions include the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship (USA, 2013) and the Honourable Mention Award from the Kerala Lalithkala Akademi (2017).

A defining moment in my career was representing India as a delegate at the UNESCO-sponsored International Art Symposium "The Breath of Epos" in Yelabuga, Russia (2010). More recently, my works were showcased in the Kochi Biennale’s acclaimed 2021 exhibition Lokame Tharavadu (The World Is One Family). In 2022, I expanded my practice globally with a virtual solo exhibition hosted by Assemblage Art Collective in Canada.

Currently, I serve as the Assistant Infographic Editor at The Times of India, where I continue to blend my passion for visual art with my role in the world of journalism. edit
