Artist Statement:
My recent paintings depicting
ancient Indian architecture
evoke a sense of nostalgia for
the days gone by. They bear a
close relationship with my
personal life experiences
including numerous visits to
ancient places witnessing a
long sequence of human and
natural history. In my dreams,
I view myself wandering in and
around the ancient castles,
temples, havelis, rocks and
old banyan trees. I feel a
strong bond with all these.
Thus the element of time,
mingled with mystery and the
spiritual quest inspires me to
paint. I paint with a mood of
joy and wonder, with my own
ideas about Art. My present
style and technique is evolved
from my past work, which was
both realistic and abstract. I
would like viewers to conceive
my art in their own way,
rather than imposing any
thought, issue or an ideology
on them. That is why most of
my paintings are untitled.
My figurative works are a
tribute to the village women
of India who preserve the
ancient Indian way of life and
the fast vanishing traditions.
The festive colors celebrate
the richness and power of
tradition that they experience
in their lives.
