Comments of the artist :

I neither thought that I would be a painter nor, of exhibiting my paintings. I specialize in landscape and portrait. I am a great admirer of Indian culture,Especially, tribal life.
Colours have their own language I use them accordingly. Except Mandu , I am also inspired by Nimad tribals. The main reason for this insipiration is that
the particular place has the combination of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra’s culture. There is a special celebration called Bhagoria festiv the speciality of this festive is that the youngsters come with beautiful costumes and ornaments.
I am a realistic painter. The topic of my painting is Mandu for the past 11 years. With my every new imagination I try to explore Mandu some –times, some things or places are so inspiring that you get excited to express your feelings. Mandu is the place which is inspiring me for past 13 years that’s the reason I visit Mandu every year.
