My all time favorite artist is Paul Gauguin because he went to Tahiti island and worked with the indigenous tribe. When I enrolled in Charukola I was very inspired by Paul Gauguin. I was determined that after I finish my studies and start my artistic career, Paul Gauguin’s work will be very helpful for my artistic expression. Paul Gauguin’s work have been very influential in my professional life. I am very grateful for him because he helped me to shape my way to the style that I am known for today which is now Kanak Chanpa style and I was very inspired by Paul Gauguin’s work.

People used to say there are similarities between my work and Paul Gauguin’s work which has helped me during that time to create my own style.
