Real landscapes reconstructed through memory, technique, and time.
Paintings from India, Guam, Bali, and Japan.
India
India has been one of the central sources of my work.
These paintings are based on streets, architecture, markets, and human presence in Kolkata and other Indian cities, reconstructed through memory and layered classical technique.
Asia Nepal Thailand Taiwan Japan
Japanese landscapes and figures form another foundation of my work.
These paintings reflect the quiet presence of place, season, and personal memory.
Buddhism and Sacred Space
These works draw upon the spatial and spiritual sensibility of Buddhist painting.
Through stillness, repetition, and delicate layers, they seek a pictorial space where visible reality opens toward prayer, memory, and inner freedom.
Pacific
Guam brought together landscape, colonial history, war memory, and Pacific light.
These works reflect my experience of living on the island and encountering its complex cultural layers.
Nature Landscape
Nature Landscape
These landscapes explore the presence of nature through sea, rock, mountain, light, and atmosphere.
Rather than depicting scenery as a view, they seek the time, silence, and material force contained within natural forms.
Drawing/Watercolor

Guam Drawings
Guam Drawings
These drawings are records of my encounters in Guam.
Through faces, landscapes, and remembered scenes, they reveal the human presence beneath the island’s Pacific light, colonial history, and cultural memory.
Flowers

Flowers are intimate subjects through which I explore color, delicacy, light, and the life of small forms.
These works reveal a quieter and more sensitive side of my painting, beneath the density of cities and landscapes.
Still Life/Early Works
Still Life / Early Works
These still lifes and early works reveal the foundations of my practice.
