New Paintings

The Story behind this collection

When I lived in Sevilla, Spain, I’d spend my weekends traveling across Andalucía, soaking in the sights and learning about the region’s rich history. What struck me most was the unmistakable influence of Islamic art and architecture on the cathedrals and monuments across the region. From the delicate stucco walls to the graceful arches, these features bore the imprint of the Moors who once ruled this land- a part of history I had yet to discover.

Reflecting on these experiences more recently, I couldn’t help but draw parallels to India, where Islamic architecture has similarly left an enduring mark on the landscape. The intricate patterns and detailed carvings adorning monuments spoke volumes of the shared cultural heritage.

Inspired by these connections, I set out on a creative journey to showcase these architectural marvels through a curated collection of paintings. From the palaces of Rajasthan that housed numerous dynasties & empires, to the tombs built by the Mughals across India, to grand mosques turned cathedrals in Southern Spain, each structure narrates a tale of skilled craftsmanship and profound cultural exchange that transcends time.
