Artist Statement
In the beginning, I sketched and drew local people such as men, women, and workers. The common man gave me confidence and became the subject of my earlier paintings. Our thought process and vision are always evolving, and experimenting with thoughts and representation of subjects is always a part of our work process. Currently, the families of common men, women, and workers, as well as nature and its flora and fauna, inspire me. Nature is a great teacher, and I always communicate and harmonise with it in my work. Learning something new is an endless process, and I try to represent it in my work. Honeybees and dragonflies symbolise hard work and beautification, while the turtle represents a journey.
