Works exploring the bizarre and fascinating world of the human senses.
1) Synaesthesia
This painting is based on the concept of synaesthesia, a neurological disorder causing surreal blending of sensations and perceptions. Synaesthetes can taste colours, hear shapes, see sounds or touch emotions in myriad combinations.

2. reality- exploded
The inner and outer world are the same. The rest in between is all an illusion.

3. Sensory overload

4. Calm and chaos

5. The spectrum of human emotions

6. The mind observing itself
This artwork is a composite of all that goes on in my head on a daily basis like medicine (represented by the pale blue areas on top left corner and below red eye which are anthrax bacilli), art ideas, music, landscapes inspired by stories I’ve read, space and life in nature.
the centrally placed eyes represent the mind’s eye. who is the observer and who is the observed ?

7. Layers of the earth
inspired by a quote from Alan watts that went, “You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it. Like a wave from the ocean“
