About my paintings:
All my paintings have people wearing some headgear that has a face painted o ¬n them. This depicts the double-faced nature of people. Like we see in most profession where o ¬ne wears uniform, like a policeman, a nurse, an army personnel or the Pope. One wears headgear to go with it as well. To me it is the depiction of the fact that we always wear a face that is different from the real o ¬ne we have. It is like a face we have to put up to suit the personality we want to project which is always different from the real o ¬ne.
For the past 25 years, acrylic colour has been the main medium for my paintings. After doing the line drawing o ¬n paper or canvas, a layer of acrylic is used like tempera o ¬n it. Then slowly the subjects and people are given shape using more layers of colour. Since I use fast colour, it gives a definite brightness to the figures. My figures have a definite inspiration from Egyptian paintings, thus the figures are drawn in the same form, the clothes that they wear have long lines making them look taller and in a way Egyptian. Most of my paintings are on 72 x 36inch size which takes about 100 hours. My paintings, in a way are people I live with. They give me inspiration to produce more, to experiment more and thus to create my own world with them. It’s my world that I want the world to see.View 4rm different eyes
