Art statement
Art, for me, is a means of communication and a way of making sense of the world. It is both a conscious and subconscious process, a space where I can explore questions that shape my understanding of myself, my experiences, and the realities I inhabit. Like a journal, my artistic practice allows me to navigate the complexities of the human condition, giving form to thoughts, emotions, memories, and uncertainties that are often difficult to articulate in words.
My work is an ongoing journey inward, an attempt to encounter my most vulnerable and authentic self. Through painting, collage, embroidery, photography, and mixed media, I create evocative worlds that exist somewhere between reverie and reality, between memory, nightmare, and lucid dream. The imagery that emerges is deeply personal yet shaped by the cultural landscapes that have formed me, drawing from experiences of living between India, Thailand, Sweden, and Germany. These places continue to influence my visual language and my ongoing search for the meaning of home.
At the heart of my practice lies an exploration of uncertainty. Much of my inspiration comes from the psychological landscapes we carry within us, particularly the tension between what is real and what is imagined. Anxiety, depression, longing, and restlessness can blur these boundaries, creating states in which we are simultaneously living in the present and outside of it. I am fascinated by these moments of ambiguity, when we become lost within the labyrinths of our own minds and begin to question the nature of our reality.
My works are not intended to provide answers. Rather, they are representations of my lived experience and my attempts to understand an uncertain world. The figurative and the abstract coexist within these compositions, where textured surfaces, layered colours, symbolic gestures, and delicate details invite multiple interpretations. Storms, rivers, skies, moons, streets, cities, and human figures become vessels for emotion and memory, transformed into symbolic presences that exist between the tangible and the imagined.
Materiality plays a central role in my process. I combine acrylic paint with photographic elements, digital drawing, plaster, volcanic ash, embroidery, pearls, glitter, recycled papers, and found imagery. Each material carries its own history and significance, contributing to layers of meaning within the work. Through techniques of cutting, separation, and transparency, forms such as birds, fish, urban structures, and human figures become permeable and ethereal, revealing what lies beneath and suggesting the fragility of identity, memory, and perception.
Ultimately, my practice is an exploration of what it means to be human: to search for belonging, to confront uncertainty, and to navigate the shifting terrain between the conscious and subconscious self. The works I create are reflections of that journey. They are not conclusions, but moments of inquiry, invitations to enter the spaces where vulnerability, imagination, and self-discovery meet.
