He was an Indian expressionist painter specializing in depictions of horses and bulls, male-female relations and women in their sexual emancipation and solitude. He was a founding member of the Society of Contemporary Indian Artists. After visiting Spain in the 60s, and attending a series of bullfights, he produced several drawings and paintings of bulls.
