The main purpose of my artworks is to portray my subconscious to the viewers in the best and agile way possible. I have worked with various mediums previously and I have found digital media to be very effective and handy along my work process.

The market for digital artists isn’t matured yet in Nepal, as majority of the people aren’t familiar with the process and effort it takes to create one. But a good artwork is always a treasure and there will always be a group of people who appreciate such pieces of art despite the condition of the market.

“Identity” is an intense word; it’s an ever-changing phenomenon, a variable. Each work in the series is composed from the mutual conception, qualities, beliefs, and expressions that we portray as a Nepali. Thus, there was no better single word that I could define the series besides “Identity”.

The reception from the series has been very satisfying. It’s whenever people relate their reality with my confusions, that I find my artworks most successful; and it has been happening more so with this series.

The national dress resembles us Nepalis, while the head replaced with a thick cloud of smoke portrays the chimneys of industries denoting pollution and chaos. It is trying to communicate– “we reflect our surroundings as it reflects us.”

There are many cases in which people perceive differently with my artworks according to their personal experiences, society and taste. For one instance, one of my works, “Enclosed” received many different perceptions. Some inclined their expressions towards the recent earthquake, some towards our chaotic yet distinct society, but it was originally created to portray our landlocked country.

I find those cases very satisfying; the randomness in thoughts within us, distorted by our taste and the society we live in, amuses me.

I really enjoyed working on the series of digital paintings “Tribal Nepal”. In this series, I have portrayed Nepalis elements and culture in fusion with my subconscious strokes. The subconscious strokes are kind of a fingerprint; the style and appearances vary from person to person and is something that’s unlocked with constant practice.

The most successful series of works are the ones related to the blockades but I am yet to give it a title.

Yes, I pursue calligraphy, photography, direction and music production professionally and each new technique and skill I have learned till now is very much interconnected to each other. Photography acts as a backbone for compositions, colour, mood and lighting, while calligraphy has improved my strokes, flow and design sense in general. Music is more like a projector for my mind because I make music based on visual elements.

The quality of our dreams is the direct result of the state of mind we have while transitioning to sleep. I believe life is an elongated version of the night’s sleep where we shape our dreams as we’re struggling to fall asleep.

For me, I am currently living in my dreams and as dreams are unpredictable, I am happy to co-operate and move along with it while inspiring more dreamers like myself.
