सपेरा (Sapera)
Dimensions - 24" x 30"
Medium - Oil on Canvas
About I grew up watching the Saperas arrive with a snake and a been, a sight that has now vanished. That change made me reflect on India’s evolution. The India Gate, the khadi wheel, and the satellite rise from the red background, which portray the development in the country. The background is surrounded by musical symbols that represent the intense sound of the instrument.
Lady on the Stairs
Dimensions - 24" x 30"
Medium - Oil on Canvas
About This woman sat on the same spot at the metro station stairs near my studio in Delhi, selling socks, shoe polish, and handkerchiefs from a large bag. The silent anger in her eyes stayed in my mind for a long time. The scene reminds me of the widespread poverty in India. Due to the continuous increase in population, the number of poor people also increases. At some places, the conditions are so bad that they have no option but to beg for survival.
