My Parents
I was fortunate to born in the house where both my parents had priority for arts and culture. My father being a poet, painter and a great art lover I was able to develop a space for abstract since my childhood. They both taught me how to convert the hardest time of life into an opportunity. Passion to stick to the call of heart, is the gift from my parents. The biggest lessons of honesty, transparency and positivity have been given to me by my parents which has made all my journey more joyful and introverting.
