I have never followed a set sequence to create my work, just one little concept spark and that takes me straight to the final creation. My work starts off very abstractly. To begin with even I myself have no idea of who I am creating. My artworks depend on the surfaces which are made unconsciously. Whatever my surface reflects, accordingly I juxtapose my compositions through real life experiences.

The materials I use in my work are varied and mostly derived from experimenting with different textures, paints, metals etc. My works to date have been created using paint collage, resin, mix media with enamel paint, transferred ink and real materials. I like working on surfaces using different layers of paint such as enamel, acrylic and paper collage.
