my life in pieces

If you try to study yourself according to another you will always remain a second-hand human being

Jiddu Krishnamurti

hello world.

Priyatam is an American alchemist whose creative spirit bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary expression. Born & raised in various parts of South India and Yemen, he left his home at twenty-three for England, before immigrating to the United States. He has wandered over forty countries before settling in San Francisco & Northern California, where he tends both art and earth from his studio on Cobb Mountain, pursuing the sacred heart of neo-advaita and non-dual tantra.

His poems and short stories have found home in Baltimore Review and beyond, while his figurative art graced galleries and art centers from San Francisco, Northern California, to Santa Fe. Currently weaving together poetry collections and a novel over a decade in the making, Priyatam also helps startups, banks, and large tech companies in cloud computing and artificial intelligence solutions.
