Artist Statement: 

I love motorcycles. Especially the Indian made Royal Enfield Bullet. My dad used to own one when I was growing up. He would seat me on the fuel tank in front of him and drop me to nursery school every morning on his way to work. Every evening, I waited by the window for the thunderous sound of his motorcycle that I could single out from scores of others.

The Royal Enfield is the most popular brand in India. It moves the whole country, from the milkman to the rich kid, the tourist to the Indian Police and Army. City kids deck them with leather trims and custom fittings while the farmer outfits it with threshing equipment. However, I am a fan of the stock model and in this series I focus on it's classic vintage silhouette. I primarily work with acrylic paints and mediums on canvas. But in this series I have used other mediums and techniques such as ink, textural mediums and screenprinting.
