He going to his artistic journey as his concerned , be termed his impression into creative sculpture and installation as an insatiable yet primarily quest to unravel the mysteries of unknown. He stay special emphasis to explore hitherto unknown spaces of his own. In his portraiture and creative sculpture has split sanctities that cannot be fuse together.
The simplicity of folk-dwellers as well as their lifestyle an indelible imprint in his psyche since childhood. That’s why in earlier he works revolved around folk myths, customs, traditions and rituals found their space into his sculpture.
In installation he tried his best to delineate the plight of militancy infested people and then he made a series of migration attributed to them. After a long span, he rely upon recycling of life for both natural as well as man made objects. He saw everything in frame, be it of physical and meta physical domains. His work lies into the transcendence of natural beauty and the outcome of my state of mind, pure heart and eventually of soul.
