We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.

I'm not necessarily interested in being the best Indian artist. I want to be the best artist I can be. That's enough of a declaration of intent.

There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.

It is important that artists are not outside the equation, we don't stand on the sidelines. Artists are part of the story of a response, we cannot stand aside and let others make the response.

I, in the end, make art for myself.

Red is a colour I've felt very strongly about. Maybe red is a very Indian colour, maybe it's one of those things that I grew up with and recognise at some other level.

If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
