Seemed appropriate after this blue Sunday to post about this blue beauty in Trivandrum : titled Veḷḷaṁ (വെള്ളം), this geometric mural portrays the city's urban plan, accentuated by its waterways. ‘Veḷḷaṁ’ is a compelling visual narrative of Trivandrum's harmonious coexistence of urbanity and nature. A striking purple line, consistent with murals I painted in Mumbai and Bhopal, signifies a harmonious link between India's urban identities, creating a nationwide artistic tapestry.

A huge thank you to , and for trusting me with this. Painting in blue is always a nightmare but has the best blues I’ve ever used. 💙

IN FULL BLOOM: Loved being one of the 5 creative forces who reimagined this seasons trends for ‘s February 2023 issue. I went with something stylistically new for this one and it really took as long as it looks like it did 😅 but I also don’t remember the last time I enjoyed drawing something this much! Sometimes, I feel that I’ve become too comfortable with my current style so stepping out of my comfort zone to draw with an unpredictable outcome reminded me of why I started illustrating in the first place. Thank you and for the opportunity and trust!

Unusually, I am posting the work in progress images of this mural after the final reveals. But nothing about the process of painting this one was ‘usual’ so why not? 🤷🏻‍♀️
More than anything else I have ever drawn, this one has a piece of my heart and soul. 2 of the most challenging and exciting weeks of my short creative career - it changed the way I approach my entire practice.

It also reminded me of how important it is to have a supportive team ( and Krishna), a strong group of amazing friends who want to paint for therapy - their own and mine ( , , and ), an organisation that just wants to make a city more beautiful ( , , , , , and team) and some paps to capture you making a mess ( , and team).
