Role in NSDA- Permanent faculty – Arts

All art expressed in terms of aesthetics is called fine art. The best of them is painting, through which human beings express their feelings. For this I always try to give the beginning of painting i.e. point, line, shape, color and the basic elements of how to use them. Using which students can express their feelings more effectively.

I put my heart and soul into my work and I have lost my mind in the process.
