“Art has always been my calling. My adventure began with me drawing and painting, which was originally just a hobby. Through experimenting, I discovered a much deeper connection to the process. My grasp of it was significantly more intense than I had anticipated, therefore I decided to pursue a career in painting. Training to become an artist was a gruelling and testing journey. The process of adding paint to a canvas sparks intellectual debate and challenge. I found that it is a spiritual quest in which only a select few are destined to accomplish.

 My life as an artist exposed me to a larger world: a raw and young Indian art industry.I found other people whose journeys inspired and moved me. It made me want to talk about them more, think about them more, and grow in small ways around their creation every day. I wanted to combine these remarkable experiences to form an ocean. An ocean of information, creativity, thinking, action, penance, and struggle; an impending online art arena for art lovers and enthusiasts to immerse themselves in and acquire wonderful items for their expanding and new collections.”
