in creative even from his childhood days. His interest and influence were

art. The knowledge, attitude, patience, and skills he developed over the years
has been a great inspiration to his artistic journey thus far.

His skills and experience enable him to make creations in multiple mediums, but his preference is more towards Acrylics and Oils due to its versatility and ease of use. He also loves to create drawings on various subjects and shapes such as nature inspired subjects along with human and animal forms beautifully created on his canvasses.
