This painting titled ‘I believe in...' was a Finalist in the 66th Blake Prize in 2021.

A work about my belief system, moving from Hinduism to Atheism. There was an Agnostic period in my early twenties before the full shift to the other side. This still life painting shows books on evolution stacked vertically on top of books on Hinduism as a motif for my internal belief system conflict. The background shows ten thousand years old theistic rock paintings from Ancient India as a representation of my heritage. The foreground with a toy dinosaur looking at a 'No Gods' pin is a culmination of scientific progress in understanding our place in this world and universe.
