Comments:

My work are from kitsch art from streets of India  I have painted a series called  ‘Welcome and co’ and ‘Horn ok please’ in ‘welcome and co’ I had painted images revolving around a word welcome which we see on various sign boards on the street and in ‘horn ok please’ series I had used images  which are seen on the trucks in India .In my recent series called ‘scene scenery’ I have painted kitschy landscapes which we see on trucks, greeting cards on mirror of a saloon or they are painted on piple leaf or on old records .
