InterDisciplinary Artist
My interdisciplinary practice emerges from the intersection of art, psychiatry, and community building, exploring identity-construction through multiple media, including painting, digital illustration, and mixed media. As a queer Punjabi British man, I create work that interrogates the complexities of desire, embodiment, and representation within contemporary society.
Drawing from my background as a psychiatrist and my current Creative Technology MSc studies, I treat different artistic disciplines as complementary modalities for exploring affect and the unconscious.
My practice is fundamentally autoethnographic, using sketchbook-journals to document and make sense of lived experience, then translating these investigations into something that can be seen or experienced by a viewer or participant.
I aim to create work that functions simultaneously as personal testimony and broader cultural critique, examining how desire and identity are constructed, performed, and transformed.
