Original artwork description:

Ready to hang if shipped within the USA; for other destinations artwork will be rolled in a heavy duty cardboard tube; heavy duty canvas stretched on 1.5in frame; Mornings like this one in Oceanside, in San Diego County make me appreciate living in CA despite the long commute, cost of living, crazy drivers :( This paintings was made in my studio from my photographs of Oceanside beach.

My art is a reflection of all things going on inside me. I internalize my environment and the critical elements show up in my work. These include abstracts, figurative compositions and realism. As a transplant to the US from India I experienced the angst caused by cultural and physical dislocation; with experience and time, the tensions between the pull of the homeland to the adopted land continue to shift and play into my work. Several recent paintings deal with my experience with change and the rate of transition in the 21st century. The mashing of global cultures and thought can be felt in the bewildering cast and the unprecedented etiquettes in several works. River of no Return, Immigrants etc. are part of the recent series that project the angst of entering a new era in human existence.
