Biografia

Born in India, relocated to Turin in 2016 to study car design — a discipline that is, at its core, the relentless pursuit of beauty in functional form. I come from a family of artists who never pursued art professionally, which meant I grew up surrounded by music, painting, theatre and literature without ever being told it was a viable path. A contradiction I am still making sense of.
I have been working in car design since 2019. I paint on the side, not as a hobby but as a cathartic exercise — a way of interrogating my own consciousness and the world in which it operates. If there is a single thread running through everything I make, it is the pursuit of beauty. Not beauty as decoration, but beauty as remedy. In a world where ugliness tyrannises our attention at every turn, I believe only beauty can restore what we are slowly losing — our perfectly imperfect humanity.
I do not think of art as expression. I think of it as education. Art teaches us how to see, how to imagine, how to resist the temptation of the obvious. This is why artists have always lived on the fringes — not out of eccentricity, but out of an insatiable thirst for perspectives that do not yet have a name.
I was born in India. I design cars in Italy. I paint to remember why any of it matters.
I call myself a naive romantic with high IQ.
