Everything I have painted since 2020 Some of the artwork stayed behind in Delhi when we moved to DC in December 2021
This map was Anurag’s request — it’s supposed to be the Gall-Peters projection Mehrangarh Fort overlooking the blue city (I’ve never been to Jodhpur but looking at stills from the recent incredible movie Banda makes me think I got some of it right) Lal Kila Qutub Minar (clearly I had a Delhi theme going) More delhi (this is supposed to be two men walking on a cold morning in Delhi.. those are woollen caps on their heads, Anurag disagrees and thinks they are punjabi uncle turbans) delhi and another recurring theme — women reading in sarees more woman reading in saree woman in saree but doing something else — this was painted while listening to Anoushka Shankar inspired by a trip to Jaipur inspired by a crafts of India coffee table book inspired by Pahadi art inspired by coke studio inspired by the first hike i ever did with my mother inspired by my first ever trip to Acadia, Maine inspired by the place where I met my partner … I did one of the DC monument skyline recently but I’m not too happy with it. Hopefully I won’t abandon my paints during the PhD and there will be more art in the future.
