How do your Indian roots influence your work with interiors, such as the Warli inspired interiors for a home in Texas?

Warli combines the best of two of my passions—stories and craft! I have always been passionate about craft and the concept of ‘handmade’ and painstakingly created, each stroke a testament of love. Warli art is essentially panels of narratives that tell us about the tribe and its activities and beliefs through its simple yet intricate paintings steeped in wonderfully expressive age old traditions. The family for whom I created this wanted an Indian-inspired mural which would run across the walls of the room and integrate well with their existing furniture and art. Warli, with its clean lines and the simple use of just two colours seemed to work well to fit the space.

Your work shows great versatility of style and execution. Do you have a particular process with which you approach a commissioned project? Being Indian and having worked closely with craft skills on many levels, that is such a big part of who I am, I believe it emerges through all my different styles of work. Commissioned projects are interesting as they come with their own unique constraints and the fact that there is already so much happening in a space that people have been interacting with and living in. My process is always simple. To try and create a fun space that also reflects the client’s personality on some level.
