Most paintings begin without a plan — a memory, a piece of music, a story I grew up hearing. I work in layers, building texture with acrylic paint, modeling paste, and a palette knife, letting the surface argue with itself until something true emerges.
I've recently started sharing my paintings with the world, but I've been making them for a while, quietly, in between everything else, the way you keep a window open in a busy house.
My work moves across abstract compositions, minimalist landscapes, figurative pieces, and paintings rooted in the visual traditions of Telangana, where I grew up. The mediums and subjects shift, but a handful of questions keep returning: movement, connection, memory, heritage, identity, and the quiet wisdom of stillness.
I'm drawn to the idea that growth rarely happens in straight lines, and that the stories we inherit continue to shape the people we become. Each painting is a small attempt to listen.
“Home is often carried in memory long after we leave it.”

Some pieces are quiet and muted. Others are loud with color. I try not to choose between them. A painting is finished when it stops asking me questions.
"Every time I look at a finished piece, I discover new relationships between the shapes, colors, and rhythms within it."
