About The Artist

Born: 3rd March 1971, Kandhar, Maharashtra State, India. Education: * B.F.A. (Applied Art) with "First in the Order of Merit" from Govt. School of Art, Marathwada University, Aurangabad. 1991, Maharashtra state, India Areas of work: Abstract Painting, Communication Design & Exhibition Display Design Presently working: As a Teaching Faculty of Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai Since 1997 till day My Inspiration: My students are the most important factor of my development. Being a teacher I interact with students frequently. Conversation with students, give me more inspiring thoughts. Their analytical/ thoughtful/ random questions make me learn more and help me keep myself updated. Many a times the colorful attires of students suggest interesting color schemes and compositions. Every year, I meet a new batch of students, talk to them, and interact with them. It helps me stay young in thought and actions. In a way, I give my 10% knowledge and the students in turn give me 90% inspiration. That is why I feel that not a single day of life goes wasted. Because every day I believe I have something good, something worthwhile; be it as a teacher or an abstract painter. That is why every single day of mine is a cheerful day. And I personally believe that the simplest things are most difficult to create.
