I am an engineer by education, IT professional by occupation but an artist by choice. I have an engineering degree and several years of experience in the corporate world, which I quit to follow my life long passion of creating art. I am a self taught artist with an extreme passion to create artwork using various media. I am inspired by everything around me and my expertise is in the usage of a wide range of colors and textures. My artworks have also been displayed successfully in various exhibitions in India as well as internationally (Singapore, Malaysia, Hungary,USA) and has been featured in the upcoming artist section in Better Interior Magazine in November 2010. My clientele includes people from all over the world -India, Hong Kong, Malaysia , Singapore ,South Africa,UK,Australia and the US – where my paintings have been part of interior decoration and family memorabilia

Description

"There was a lady who made his living selling balloons at a fair. She had all colors of balloon red, yellow, pink, blue, orange. They were vibrant and promised laughter and fun. Whenever business was slow, the seller would release a helium filled balloon into the air and when the children saw it go up, they all wanted to buy one too. They would come up to her, buy a balloon and her sales would go up again. She continued this process all day. One day, she felt something tugging her saree. She turned around and saw a little boy. With concern in his eyes, the little boy asked, If you release a dirty black balloon, would that also fly? Moved by the boy's concern, the seller replied with empathy, "Son, it is not the color of the balloon, it is what's inside that makes it fly!" This was one random whatsapp forward from a friend but it struck a chord. It is not what is outside (beauty, color, race etc..) that matters but what is inside (beliefs, morals, attitude etc...) that defines you and helps you soar! This painting is my ode to all balloons - fly high, sky's the limit !! 😊
