My recent work of the past year or so has used aspects of history as well as culture, which have a profound impact on the modern society. In the current century I find a lot of us focus on what's to come, for example; work, finance a lot of these things being materialistic, without focusing on the things we take for granted. In my diverse approaches to art making through paintings, collages and calligraphy, the context of my work has had a significant effect on how the work is read by the viewer.

My work ranges from the modern issues in society to past ideologies brought upon through years of indoctrination by the people in power and the media. I often focus on giving a voice to the ideologies which I strongly believe are often brushed over or masked by a lot by the media. In one of most recent projects I reveal the power of art through language of peaceful protests as opposed to violently challenging one’s perceptions or perspectives. I explore how collage and painting techniques can be tied together. I often look for unexpected avenues to create thought provoking pieces exploring ‘forbidden’ territories.

I do not believe that my art itself can create some ground breaking revolutions however, strongly believe witnessing and exploring art can make changes in the individual itself.
