Materials used in miniature painting
When I moved to US, I learned contemporary art trends and was able to utilize my traditional training to address contemporary issues. I am not so particular about using only one medium or style which allows me to address subjects of concern in various difference ways. (Click on each image to read the title of the piece.)Ā
Currently I am working on four new projects. An audio piece āNaming the Deadā; Kite project, for which I had received Guggenheim fellowship for; Wagah/Atari border series and a collaborative piece with an Indian artist to address personal family history of migration and finding a new home. It is always exciting to see these projects come to life when they are displayed in museums, art gallery, institutes or even theatre.
