Artist Statement:
My art of painting and
sculptures come from a very
quiet place of my heart. I
like to work with expressions
of the human form in
abstraction, the energy
derived from that, the limit
it reaches. The energy of the
body, its motion comes from
the source of his or her
reserve of the mind which is
reflected in respective
expressions of my work. I aim
to capture this energy or
dynamicity through the
expressions and reveal it
through my paintings or
sculpture forms.
A posture only captures a
fraction of the total movement
of oneself. But the
expressions reveals the total
movement – body, mind and
sometimes soul. I am always
thriving to touch and feel
that through my work.
Essentially all my work has to
be firmly rooted in drawing.
The human form plays a major
element in them. I am trying
to continuously to portray the
seamless bonding between man
and nature in my works. My
work has to satisfy my urge
for creatively. It has to give
me happiness first before I
can share. Then I want people
to be connected to them and
find a relationship of thought
and provocation and not
leaving it in isolation. ...

Then I want people to be connected to them and find a relationship of thought and provocation and not leaving it in isolation. I am continuously making a choice of portraying what is only positive in life within its negativity. It must be a form which needs to be true, universal and beautiful. All the lives flow like a river and met the ocean of eternity one day. I want through my work, my soul to become eternity and not just meeting it.”- Roymans

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Desended from the artist family of Great painter of India- Jamini Roy, I was a natural artist from my childhood. Art flowed in me always like my own blood flows in my vain. I discovered that Jealousy and Anger are the greatest enemy of oneself and the root cause of all destruction. I paint to get rid of them from my heart. |
