Work

His works "depict daily experiences in Mysore, southern India, where he is based, but also reflect wider cultural, political and economic globalization issues" and explore the "absurdity of the real world, representation and abstraction, and repeating images".[5][2] His practice has been inspired by Indian popular and miniature painting.[6]
