This series : "Portrait of a happy family" is a satirical take on the dynamics and structure of dysfunctional families and a tendency in South Asian Family to not address it. I have been working on since 2020. This is an ongoing project and hopefully I will be able to come up with some substantial work in few years.



I am sharing some of the works with you all....


Grotesque smilling faces of a family suffering from mental illness, abuse and dysfunctionality
Another portrait of a happy family

Grotesque imagery. Mixed media work
Portrait of a happy family...some more

There are more sketches and paintings, which are not directly a part of this series but deals with similar subject matter.
