Statement
Whether I am in Norway or Paris or London, I always see colour, it is an intrinsic part of my way of seeing. I come from Rajasthan where colour is celebrated; it is a part and parcel of the everyday life of its inhabitants. I love watching the leaves in autumn. Agni and Jal the two elements that are so vital in the Shastras. If you take the first alphabet of each, it becomes AJ this itself means never-ending, eternal and this is the energy that resides in my works.
