Artist known for his vibrant paintings and his love for spirituality, the artist made a mark for himself with his larger than life paintings filled with mythology and Sufi spirituality. He was among the first painters to break out of the dominant greys and browns of the western art and opt for more Indian colours including red and violet and favor the abstract. The artist was cremated in Green Park in the afternoon in the presence of a large number of friends, admirers and family members. He loved red. He was a brave painter who had the courage to follow his convictions unmindful of the popular trend.
