Anil was born in Mumbai, India and was an engineer during his career, working mostly with visual technologies in graphics, video and imaging. During his later years, he started practicing painting, back to his childhood hobby. Anil has always loved to be by the water and enjoys sailing when he can. Growing up near the shore in Mumbai, he was fascinated by the colorful sunsets, the monsoon clouds, and turbulent seas. He enjoys capturing the beauty of the waves, clouds and sunsets in their dynamic yet transient nature. In his work, he commits these passing moments to the canvas – the colors, the forms, shadows and flickers of light – using richness of oil paints. His style ranges from realistic to semi-abstract, giving a bit of personal interpretation to these memories.
