Padwal seeks inspiration from different aspects of everyday life, including work in progress, pollution everywhere, fast changing skyline, noisy traffic, humans and animals stuck in today's concrete jungle.

MYOPIA an exhibition in Mumbai in 2008 explored issues relating to the Mumbai terror attack, with images of war and terror. It contained images of the female form and art installations.
