Artist Statement

For me.... The Process of painting originates from a sub-conscious state of mind, where the images stored in the psyche start taking shape into a form that is gradually built up, with the help of lines, textures, design, tone and color into a 'Work of Art". The subject matter of my paintings is either nostalgic, or from imagination based on dreams, fantasies beautiful experiences of growing up and surroundings etc. l enjoys creating beautiful compositions that transport the viewer into my world, with graceful female figures et amongst their natural environment, color fully dressed in traditional attire, leisurely engaged in day-to-day activities, or participating in numerous rituals and festive celebrations that take place round the year. Apart from these, most of the times there is a lone female figure in solitude, having a dialogue with nature, while a bird perched on a nearby branch watches silently. The thought of applying myself to serious aspects of human existence occurred to me, but my attempts to portray them turned futile. Having realized my inability to find inspiration from the harder side of life, I reverted to my forte of painting 'The Woman' resplendent in all the glory as a tribute to the female form.
