Born raised and educated in Europe, he claims he is "half East Indian and half screwed up" has always had a passion for art ever since a young age when his art work would be taken by the school head principals for what ever reason... 

He dismantled his fathers estate car, better known in the United States as a wagon where he removed the whole front end to see what a streamlined front would look like.  After being grounded for what he says, "forever and a day" he was sent to art school and eventually got admitted to the most prestigious design school in Europe where he studied.  He had to take 2 buses and a train to get to school every morning and looked forward to every day.

Raj created the Exoticmishap (TM) collection where exotic cars are crashed, (more on this under collections) and the Goldgraph (TM) collection where precious metals and diamonds are used (more on this under collections) and has a lot of fun with them. 

Raj has done charity work for various charities all over the world, from India, the Middle East, Europe and North America.  He has earned various awards and his work has generated donations of a lot of money to various charitable causes.

What some people have said about his work; "remarkable and sophisticated" Roy Disney, "fine examples of pieces of substance and movement" HRH Prince of Wales, "exceptionally executed and unique" Chairman of the Board, "just great work" William Shatner, "remarkable, carnival like" George Lucas.

For Raj the term "reserved" is an understatement.

Thank you for visiting his masterpieces...

Exotic Mishap Collection is an exclusive re-known and unique sculpture usually of cars involved in a mishap, hence the name ExoticMishap. Raj says "You pick them and I will smash them." It take 5-6 cars to make one crashed car. Each one is torn down and rebuilt.  All 6 cars must be identical before Raj puts them thorough the crash process. He claims that he drives each car into a crash... Lots of micro tools are used to get to the final stage of WOW. Each piece is unique and generates lots of attention.

Goldgraph (TM) is another unique collection. When Raj originally created these renditions they were painted with a potion of grounded down precious metals (exotic alloys) mixed with diamond dust hence the name GoldGraph.   Completely hand painted, a very long process it is.  The Raj Graph uses metal foils and the GoldGraph limited Editions uses foil paints for limited edition runs which are used for commercial applications.

Each one if sculptured and hand rubbed and you can see differences in each printed edition to make each one a unique masterpiece onto its self.
