Care Guide
Artworks should be displayed away from direct sunlight and breeze. To clean accumulated dust from a painting use a soft, dry brush very lightly on the surface. Make sure there is no moisture on the bristles before touching the artwork. Never use any chemical cleaning agents.
For repairing more severe damage, such as cracks or discolouration, it is best to seek help from a professional. Once a year, remove the artwork from the wall for a couple of days to let the wall breathe and avoid moisture accumulation.
Framing Guide
We suggest using a frame of minimum 2 inch thickness with either a plain black, brown or white border depending on the wall colour.
Acrylic and Oil paintings don't generally need a glass cover and are simply framed whereas watercolour paintings are framed and covered with glass to protect the artwork.
Size Guide
To determine the correct size of the painting, multiple the height of your available wall space by 0.75 and width by 0.60. This should gave you a good estimation of the size of the painting you should purchase.
For example, if the dimensions of your blank wall are 7 feet (H) x 10 feet (W), the artwork size you should consider is 5 feet (H) x 6 feet (W)

About the Artist
Art is a language through which one can communicate one's state of mind with the people at large. It is nothing but the reflection of personality expressed in the form of creativity through different facets of art which can be in the form of paintings, sculptures or any other medium.
Similar to many other artists I am a bit introverted and find my paintings to be the only way of interacting with people and to share my thoughts, feelings and the endless desires which are borne within me. My works are the mirror reflection of my mind & soul and the never ending exploration as an artist, as an individual to the world of ecstasy. Simple forms and objects that occupies a prominent part in my painting enunciates the simplicity that persists within me. Considering myself as an avid nature lover, a lot of birds and mammals come to and fro in my works. My self identity has been reflected through my creations.
Indian paintings have had a great impact on me as well as on my work. The intricate detailing of my creation is the manifestation of the finesse of my mind and how seriously I perceive life. I value every moment and aspect of my entity and the people surrounding me. The colour palate of my canvases, reverberate the kind of a person I am. The soft pastel shades of my work depicts the softness and kindness embedded within me.
Life is a journey with lots of undulations, but till now has been fruitful. The flatness as well as the textured parts in my paintings, resemble the pattern of my life cycle as a human being. Very emotional and sensitive in nature, a lot of objects percolate my paintings. The impression of a Vintage Car or that of an Antic Telephone on my canvases is nothing but the reflection of the nostalgia that I always feel whenever I see them in reality. Our mode of communication has undergone a sea change from telegram to text messaging. Telegram or writing letters to dear ones has become a thing of the past. But I try to rejuvenate the lost glory by impersonating them on my canvases.
