An accomplished art director and illustrator with some of the biggest names in the business, he finally parted ways with his passion of many years and yielded to his first love; of colour and canvas. He is of the opinion that his work today is a by-product of years of nurturing his inner self in the shadows of masters. The transmutation of lead to gold by the philosopher's stone is the kind of analogy he would give to his journey as a painter; from one who is enamoured by masters, to one who is able to create some of his own.
