This artist who has lived his entire life in the city is drawn to a variety of subjects from the life in city, be flower vases a symbol of the urban dweller's desire to have 'nature'around him or the faceless figures. But he has arrived at this point after a long journey that took him to through the realms of non figurative works to his current foray in figuration. His current works are an amalgamation of his experiences in both genres of paintings.
