​From Ashes to Art: ​


Enduring resilience through sustainable artwork

Picture
Artist Statement

​Born in central India, I discovered my innate passion for self-expression through the timeless medium of charcoal. This ancient, sustainable material, used for millennia to create cave paintings, captivated me as a child and continues to inspire my work today. In an age of accelerating environmental crises and unsustainable artistic practices, my art seeks to reclaim the integrity of charcoal as both a medium of beauty and a symbol of ecological harmony.
My work stands at the intersection of art and climate action. Each piece, created using eco-friendly materials such as biochar, transforms visual storytelling into a vehicle for sustainability. By marrying the tactile authenticity of hand-drawn artistry with a deep commitment to environmental consciousness, I aim to awaken reverence for our planet and inspire a collective commitment to its preservation.

Globally recognized through exhibitions, publications, and even acknowledgment from the White House, my art reflects a unique balance between aesthetic serenity and environmental activism. My Master’s degree in Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University deepens my understanding of design and fuels my ambition to address global challenges creatively. Beyond my artistic practice, my role as a Climate Change and Sustainability Consultant allows me to integrate systemic solutions into my vision for a resilient future.

Through my work, I invite audiences to reimagine their relationship with the sustainable world. Whether depicting the scars of climate change or celebrating the power of renewable energy, my art is a call to action for businesses, communities, and individuals to collaborate in shaping a sustainable future.​
Sustainable Art with a Purpose​
  • Timeless and Sustainable Medium: Charcoal, a natural material with a rich history, offers a velvety texture and deep black hues that bring expressive art to life. Unlike traditional paints, it’s eco-friendly, free of harmful chemicals, and recyclable—perfect for creating art that respects the planet.
  • Art as a Catalyst for Change: My charcoal drawings weave together tradition, sustainability, and storytelling to spark conversations about protecting our Earth. Through my work, I aim to inspire a deeper connection to the environment and encourage others to embrace sustainable living.
