Contemporary Indian Miniature Paintings

My contemporary paintings predominantly depict natural land and sea environments. Often these are imaginary, but increasingly source materials include my own photographs and found images. I am currently integrating Indian and Western representations to create hybridised paintings that speak among many things to my interest in visual seduction, Taoist spiritual teachings about understanding one’s true nature, a reverence for craft and the pleasure in small details. For example, in the new and ongoing ‘Paint by Number’ series, I am taking vintage ‘paint-by-number’ Western landscapes (some that I painted many years ago) and re-envisioning them as exquisitely rendered, strangely familiar vistas.
