My Story
I didn’t grow up expecting to become an artist. In fact, for 17 years, I lived a life that was admired, respected, and absolutely “correct” as per society. A well-paying IT job, promotions, responsibilities — the checklist life.
But inside, I felt like a stranger to myself.
I was always a sensitive, expressive child — loud, emotional, full of imagination — the kind of kid who feels the world intensely. But as I grew up, I was told to tone it down.
“You’re too emotional.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You’re too loud.”
Somewhere along the way, I learned to shrink.
To fit in.
To be who others needed me to be.
But art… art brought me back home to myself.
In 2020, I picked up a brush again. Not to paint something perfect — but to feel. To breathe. To live for a few minutes without roles, expectations, and noise.
And then came two life-changing solo trips — Manali and Lakshadweep.
In the mountains, I experienced snow for the first time — a silence that made me hear myself again.
In the ocean, I experienced peace for the first time — a vastness that made my problems look small.
These journeys awakened something I had suppressed for years:
I am meant for a life that feels alive — not just safe.
By 2025, I knew staying in a job that drained my soul wasn’t living — it was slowly disappearing. So I chose my truth. I left.
Choosing art wasn’t a career switch — it was a return to my authentic self.
Painting wildlife became my language of expression. I don’t paint animals for the sake of realism — I paint them for what they teach us about ourselves. Their eyes feel like mirrors. Their wildness feels like a reminder.
And when I paint devotional works like Panchmukhi Hanuman Ji or Shiva — it isn’t “artwork”… it is prayer. Stillness. Surrender. A channel of something greater flowing through me.
My art reconnects me with the voice I spent years suppressing — and now I paint to help others remember theirs too.
Today, I create soulful wildlife and spiritual art that carries the energies of courage, freedom, strength, and divine guidance — so anyone who lives with my art feels seen, supported, and awakened.
My journey isn’t about selling paintings — it is about healing through art, for myself and every soul who resonates with it.
