You walk on a pavement surrounded by nothing other than cars, taxis and rickshaws outnumbering the number of people, the raging sound of traffic, and a few trees that are barely surviving. So, when you stand in front of a building, that instead of being built with glass panels that reflects your tiny role in the universe, is loaded with colour and delivers a good message, it is a joy to behold.

Speaking more about his visit and the agenda of the event, he says, "This is an amazing experience; it is my first time in India and painting in Dharavi neighbourhood has been a unique feeling. I really hope to be back soon in the future to bring my art to India. This will be an occasion to meet the students, to show them the process behind my work in the hope of inspiring them."
