I am drawn to simplicity and quietness—in life and in clay. My work consists mainly of vessels made on a potter’s wheel, through which I seek a balance between function and form. Often, I leave pieces unglazed so that the fire and ash reveal the natural texture and color of the clay. My aim is to create pots that fulfil their function, while also holding a quiet, contemplative presence

I was born in Silchar, Assam — a small town surrounded by greenery, ponds and a simple rural way of life. My childhood unfolded in close contact with nature — among cattle, goats, ducks and chickens. The silence and interplay of light and darkness in those electricity-free days left a deep impression on my mind.

During my years at Santiniketan, I once again found that same quiet, green environment. That is why my paintings often return to the memories of childhood, the silent beauty of nature and the solitude of human existence.

My work explores interconnected themes of femininity, culture and nature through a recurring central character. Rooted in personal experience, this character becomes a vessel for storytelling and emotional reflection. I approach these themes with a sense of childlike playfulness that remains constant across my practice. I currently work with two distinct mediums — digital illustration and ceramic sculpture — each offering a unique way to express form and identity. While the materials and processes differ, the essence of the character and the narrative it carries remain continuous.

I was born in Spain in 1966 and my first journey to India in 1989, while still an art student, became a turning point in my life and practice. By 1992, I had moved to India to live and work full-time, travelling extensively through Dharamshala, Varanasi, Vrindavan, Pushkar, Kerala, and Coorg. My years in Kerala were particularly formative, as I became deeply engaged in the state’s flourishing art and cultural movement of the 1990s, a time when contemporary visual art in Kochi began to find its global presence. I was actively involved with initiatives such as the Mayalokam art collective, Kashi Art Café, the five annual Tree Festivals and Encounter—Kochi’s first contemporary art festival.

In 2008, I moved with my family to Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, where we began living on our organic farm at the foot of the sacred Arunachala mountain. Immersed in this quiet communion with nature, my practice underwent a profound transformation. The solitude and spiritual energy of this landscape inspired a deep shift in my artistic language, leading my work in 2017 from figurative expressions toward an abstract, contemplative space of silence.

I am not an artist.
I am a constructor.

I construct geometrical elements. These elements are squares, circles, triangles and all the related forms. These geometrical shapes are not created by me. They are simply available and I only borrow them. This is what is called the "sacred geometry". An artist creates, I construct. I like to use and experiment with various materials and media. Steel, stone, bronze and wood form the building blocks of my sculptures and multi-dimensional objects. While I use exact geometrical forms, my constructions remain fluid and playful.

“This searching, working, toiling. This looking for something new. This feeling happy, unhappy, happy, unhappy, up and down. This one could call: “the bliss of the artist”. That it may last for ever...” HvP

I explore transformation through upcycling, working with discarded materials to uncover their hidden potential. My practice reflects on consumption, memory and renewal, turning waste into a space for reflection and beauty. Each piece begins with fragments collected from daily life, brought together through intuition and care — revealing that what is often overlooked can still hold energy, story and life.
