He works in many different media, including painting, sculpture, print making, photography, installation, found objects and video art. He was one of the first artists to work with installations as he believed that art was something that needed the audience to engage and participate.

He lives and works in New Delhi, where he is a visiting professor at the Jamia Milia Islamia University.
