Experiencing the Magic of Goa Carnival 2026: A Personal Journey from an Airbnb Amidst Parades and Artistry
In February 2026, I had the chance to experience this lively celebration from a unique vantage point—a friend's Airbnb balcony overlooking the parade route. What unfolded was a whirlwind of colors, sounds, and emotions that left a lasting impression. Every element was hand-drawn. No AI shortcuts — just paint, paper, and patience.

The Sacred Circle : Art honouring the sacred Feminine

At its centre, a shamanic drum carries the rhythm of the earth. Cacao becomes a symbol of opening the heart, while the roots reaching deep beneath the women speak of ancestry and our connection to nature.
A symbolic honoring of the feminine, the earth, and the ancient rituals that bring us back to ourse
Haunted by the Same Monsters
'Haunted by the Same Monsters' is a contemporary take on the dark forces that shape our lives today. Media outrage, ideological possession, self-sacrifice, manipulation, desire, and collective delusion take on physical form as strange and unsettling beings. I began painting these creatures as a way of making sense of the world around me.
