“I am drawn to the spaces where memory lingers.. between landscape and settlement, between the organic and the constructed, between what is inherited and what is continually remade. My paintings emerge from an ongoing engagement with these intersections, seeking to understand how people shape places and, in turn, how places shape human experience. I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and architect based in Nepal. I received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), New Delhi, where I developed a lasting interest in the relationship between space, culture, and lived experience. My architectural education continues to inform my artistic practice, particularly in the way I approach structure, rhythm, layering, and the spatial organization of visual narratives. Working across painting, drawing, and mixed media, I explore themes of landscape, memory, urban transformation, cultural continuity, and the evolving relationship between natural and human-made systems. My work often investigates how individuals navigate increasingly complex environments shaped by development, migration, technology, and changing cultural values. Observation and field research are central to my practice. Through travel, sketching, and direct engagement with landscapes, settlements, and everyday life, I gather visual and conceptual material that later finds expression in the studio. These experiences allow me to move between documentation and imagination, creating works that are rooted in lived reality while remaining open to metaphor and interpretation. In recent years, my work has expanded to engage with the cultural traditions and visual heritage of Nepal, exploring festivals, ritual practices, vernacular architecture, masks, and deities as living components of contemporary society. Rather than presenting these subjects as historical relics, I am interested in their continued transformation and relevance within present-day social and cultural life. Through my practice, I seek to create layered visual narratives that encourage reflection on memory, place, identity, and the ways in which cultural experience is continually negotiated and renewed.”

My work serves as a visual diary of my thoughts, feelings, and observations. I explore the quiet poetry of everyday life and stories held by the places I visit. Alongside this outward gaze, I turn inward and paint my inner landscape, searching for connections between the seen and the sensed. Art, to me, is an evolving dialogue; therefore, I experiment freely with diverse mediums, materials, and themes, allowing each piece to unfold on its own. My practice is an ongoing journey of connecting the visible world with the unseen and unlooked-for, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and perhaps glance at their inner narratives within mine.
