Hence,
the question of ‘what to do’ is frequently impertinent to me.
It’s just sincere, soulful play when I put paint on my canvas and
try to tell the story of my emotions. And my visual storytelling
often uses different mediums to paint on; Paper, Canvas, Colour,
Water…
Personally,
I feel, my work lets me look into my inner self. The world as I see
it, the emotion that well up inside me.. When the overwhelming
feeling takes over, I simply put up the canvas and start working on
it.
I
have noticed that working relentlessly on the basis of one’s
instincts, provides an ample scope of evolution in one’s work and
one’s life. The same has happened to me. I have always believed
that all life is interconnected and inter dependent. But the threads
of connections between them are so subtle that more than often we
miss to notice their existence. Unlike many, my work has evolved from
being full of vivid colours to just various shades of black and
white. Because, to me, these shades resemble the subtle connections
and interdependencies that I find in human life. Every large stroke
needs supports of many smaller, finer lines, to bring meaning to the
former’s existence. It wouldn’t be incorrect if I say that my
work is mostly based on relationships between people, as I perceive
it.
I
believe my work is for the enjoyment of the viewer, rather than their
analysis. There is a language in it for those who want to read it,
there is a sound in it for those who want to hear it. All I can say
is that I find happiness and satisfaction out of my work as all my
works give me an opportunity to learn more about the world within and
the world without.
