An outstanding student he had previously won the Merit Scholarship from Visha Bharti, 1991, 1992, 1993.
Style:
Figures dominate the whole thinking process of his paintings with different subjects such as mermaids, musicians(Classical Musicians , Rajasthani Folk Singers and Baul Singers) and mythological figures appearing in his works. He was deeply influenced by the life Sri Aurobindo and thus enlightened beings. Such as Buddha, Jesus and Krishna are also a recurring theme in his Golden Man series. His focus on detail and remarkable skill over the line make his style unique.
He uses a traditional method of tempera painting which goes back to the Indian miniature though the material he uses is totally contemporary. Seven to eight coats of transparent colour put on the surface, one after another to get a complete tone. Using a very fine brush Lakhs hatching and stipples are then inserted into the work to give it a grainy texture. Knowledge of the wash technique further enables him to create a soft, twilight effect in his paintings.
