Presently, creates magical images using a challenging medium like paper. After initial attempts, extremely relished the experience of balancing skill and finesse.

Having decided to take on more intricate designs, looked to nature and habitat as inspirations.

Large repertoire of creations including replica of idols in the Ajantha-Ellora caves, Lord Ganesh in myriad forms, birds in colorful glory , rural India in landscapes, etc Every creation takes days of sheer patience and hard work.

His technique, now evolved and highly personalised, uses layering of coloured and textured paper to create a true multi-dimensional effect .
