The Rolling Painting (60" x 48")
Seeing is believing. ‘Art is not what you see, but what you make others see’. This is an extraordinary achievement in the field of arts and hence ‘An Eccentric Piece of Art’ was the name that India Book of Records gave my innovation. A Distinct and Innovative Painting made from PVC pipes. It’s the World’s First Innovative Painting, where PVC pipes are used as the rolling tool. “The painting is 5ft x 4ft with the canvas rolled on PVC pipes and colour applied to each pipe. Here, I used 594 pieces of ‘rollers’. These rollers when rolled manually formed multiple compositions and I brought all of these together under one theme – nature – by putting them in one frame. The beauty of this painting lies in its serene wildlife wherein if one creature appears the other disappears. It has been painted very carefully so as not to disturb the other compositions,”.
Saving nature and wildlife should be everyone’s duty. I try to impart a message through my paintings which has to be positive. Positive for nature, mankind or for my country.
The Mystical Mermaid (48" x 48")
A Mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same traditions), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans.
At its basic, the imagery is outlandish, perplexing and even uncanny, as it is meant to jolt the viewer out of their comforting assumptions. It is an elusive categorization of dream and reality brought into existence with the help of ropes and acrylics. To conclude, the techniques have been used to magnify the alluring beauty of the mermaid.

Talaash (36" x 72")
Walking in the middle of the Desert, I wonder which one is more difficult to put up with. Travelling in the scorching sun with barely a few trees to offer shelter, walking on loose, slippery sand, or being mocked for questions that appear silly to the women in one of the country’s driest places—Khadero ki Dhani, a hamlet in Jaisalmer district that receives the lowest rainfall in Rajasthan. Talaash is a painting depicting the difficulties faced by these people with less rainfall and natural vegetation. But the hope makes them walk calmly through the hot sands in the scorching sun. The ariel view of the painting in the beautiful and colourful traditional Rajasthani attire with the actual matkas hanging on their head make it so lively that one can feel and walk through these sands with them.
