Born on 20th May 1973, at Bhograi, dist. Balasore, Orissa, India.
I looked into myself: both inner and outer as a post modernist. As a post modernist I operate myself on my canvases I reflect through my paintings in versatile genres. My paintings show the observational vehemence of both the realistic and postrealistic or conscious and subconscious state in a minute level. I managed to develop the structural and pictorial complexity of my art works to relies the new, more ambitious, objectives. It was interesting to know the development of my each painting as it was worked on towards its completion. I explains how each element in the landscape endeared to grow with the work in progress. Maintaining a surreal progression of events, minimal color fields in the background of each work provide a base for the elements to engage and develop.
