SAB Studio

I am a British-Indian artist based in Bristol, with a passion for exploring a wide range of artistic mediums. Recently, my focus has been on the traditional Japanese brush painting style known as 'Sumi-e'. For me, the movement of the brush and the bleed of the ink into the paper is a meditation. There is an aliveness to the paintings and a rhythmic quality. As though the painters were dancing in the process.

Inspired by this connection between art and movement, I launched my latest project, Moving Ink, where I explore the dynamic relationship between live ink paintings and the fluidity of dancers. This project has also informed my own process, where I integrate movement from my body into my painting practice.

I now offer a series of workshops sharing this art form, including ‘Live-Motion Drawing Workshops’ where participants learn the fundamentals of gesture drawing and capturing motion with dynamic poses. I also host playful, movement-based painting sessions called ‘Play and Paint.’ My aim is to help others experience the joy of creative expression through motion, while teaching techniques that bring art to life.
