Coastal Colours 2
Coastal Colours is a series of abstract paintings that capture the essence of a serene seashore. This artwork embodies both dynamism and tranquility, reflecting the ever-changing yet calming nature of the ocean. I am deeply drawn to the ocean, finding inspiration in it - the crashing waves, the soft sand, and the shifting hues of the sea across different times of day and seasons. This painting is my attempt to encapsulate a single fleeting moment from the infinite beauty and inspiration the ocean offers.

Artist Statement
My artistic journey is characterized by curiosity and willingness to explore a diverse range of mediums and tools. I want to learn, grow and experiment and this quest for learning is evident in my art practice over the years. I firmly believe in the philosophy that learning has no age limit, and I embody this belief in my practice.
I enjoy exploring a range of styles, from representational to abstract. My art practice explores working with textures and the interplay of textures and colours. My art process can be spontaneous or planned and many a times a mix of both. Although my formal training has been in representational art and illustration, my venture into abstract art has opened up new dimensions of artistic expression and exploration. I am drawn to visual and tactile properties of various materials and I like to put them together and observe how they interact. I like working with layers of diluted colours put on textured surfaces. And this results in surprising patterns and glimpses of layers underneath.
