# About me

I am an Indian born Berlin based illustrator and artist.

I like to explore themes and stories of culture, history and mythology through my illustrations.

I am inspired by various mythological epics, folktales, fairytales and comicbook superheroes and how they influence our world view of the "Hero's Journey". As children, we imagine ourselves as colorful and epic heroes within our own life stories, but lose a lot of that growing up as we contrast it against the stark reality that is life.

My characters and illustrations take pieces of the mundane and ordinary and try to restore some of that childhood magic by injecting the whimsical fantasy and epic qualities of mythology into them. I believe that we are all epic heroes, within our own special stories just waiting to be told.

Hello there, thank you for the welcome! 

I love your pictures of the abandoned urban landscapes, they have such an eerie beauty about them! They remind me a lot of the buildings we have around Berlin that were abandoned either after WW2 or during the soviet era. They have such an amazing history about them. 

Keep up the awesome work!

I'm happy, that you like it. I love these places.
Here you can find pictures of an abandoned vocational school. The images from inside will follow soon.
I also have pictures of an old barracks, which stands for 15 years left there.
I will soon upload all sequentially.
So stay tuned. it's worth it.
