Artist Statement
In the modern artistic World everyone speaks in his own private language, when every man invents his own dictionary, art seems to be no longer a universal language. I’m just trying to take entry in to my canvases from such a background where the common folks practice their life style in such a manner from art come into being.
Deeply moved by the persistent and burning issues of our society, existence and co-existence of human with contrast ideologies, degenerating philosophies with the passage of time, along with innumerable personal experiences inspire me. I use the canvas to vent out and express agony of existence, concern towards intense struggle for survival and many other emotions that emerge as a reflection of the current state of our society. Through my canvases, I yearn to seek answers to my questions that have affected my sensitive being and inspired me to use these issues as a core subject of my works. My color palette goes very well with the mood of the subjects I intend to portray along with layers of textures.
My Journey continues with some old & new mediums of expression. I move through the pages of life always learning, always wanting the beauty of simplicity in life to return. I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over experiences
