Holi: The Garden of Pleasure, 2007
Mixed media on Canvas, 180 x 116 cm
Holi: The Garden of Pleasure is a sacred and sentimental homage to my childhood memories. The painting is adorned with my mother’s old jewellery, bangles, and bindis, transformed into embellishments that carry traces of care and inheritance. Explosions of colour from Holi powders and splatters of ink cascade across the canvas, merging with intricate henna-drawn patterns to evoke both ritual and play. These materials, reclaimed, salvaged, and reimagined, find new identity and purpose within the work, celebrating the beauty of memory, transformation, and feminine adornment as acts of preservation and renewal.

Chaotic Love. 2008
Acrylics on Canvas
58.66" x 39.37" x 1"
Price: available upon request
The canvas is divided in two by straight and curved lines. The two figures that create this divide are formed from brightly coloured blocks of paint, and different techniques of mark making. This is in contrast to the negative space of the background and foreground, which is defined by single planes of colour. The use of energetic mark- making and textured application of paint create strong deconstructed forms that are recognisable yet abstract. The title Chaotic Love depicts the intense emotions humans experience and love as an abstract concept.

La Petite Mort (The Little Death) 2011
Acrylics on Canvas
W:48"x H:48.2" x D:1.57"
122 x 122.5 cm
La petite mort (The little death) explores the presentation of the female form and the pictorial construction of female identity in painting. The title La petite mort is French for The Little Death, and often euphemism for orgasm. This term has generally been interpreted to describe the post-orgasmic state of unconsciousness that some people have after having some sexual experiences. The body in the painting is arched suggesting the figure is in a state of change. This change can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm as the figure floats into a state of transcendence.
The canvas is divided in two by the arched line of a woman’s body. The figure is formed from brightly coloured blocks of paint, in contrast to the negative space of the background and foreground defined by single planes of colour. The use of hot colours and heavily textured application of paint create strong deconstructed forms that are recognisable yet abstract.
