​

As a visual artist, I explore a wide range of mediums, including oil paints, watercolors, graphite pencil, and mixed media, to create hyper-realistic portraits, figurative art, landscapes, and cityscapes. My work is a fusion of tradition and innovation, where historical influences meet contemporary ideas to form a unique artistic expression.

​

Miniature painting holds a special place in my practice, drawing inspiration from the intricate artistry of the Mughal and Persian eras. I incorporate traditional techniques such as seyah qalam, gadh rang, neem rang, and 3D miniature painting, alongside graphite renderings, to add depth, texture, and a sense of timelessness to my work. My color palette is rich, vibrant, and predominantly opaque, making each piece visually compelling and immersive.

​

I am constantly experimenting with new styles, materials, and techniques, pushing the boundaries of my creativity. My website showcases a diverse collection of works, reflecting my artistic evolution and passion for innovation. I believe that art is a reflection of the artist’s vision, emotions, and journey. Each piece I create is a window into my world, expressed through color, texture, and form.
