MY THOUGHTS

       Passion and Art, two very important aspects of Life. There is Art in Expression, in Fantasy and in Reality. For me, the world is not just about beautiful things. My art is not just beautiful but also Realistic. I paint the world with Metaphors and Symbolisms. I see people everydy, running, struggling, some celebrating but many wishing for an Idealistic world and I can paint my canvas with those harsh realities of life. Being an Artist coming from lower middle class family, I have seen struggls up close yet my Art makes me feel so powerful an Extraordinary. My Brush and Canvas gives me the power to influence and affect masses, visually. For me painting is not just my passion but also medium fufillingmy social responsibility.

       I have studied behaviours and Mannerisms of people, their exxpressions, moods and mindsets, portrayed them in many of  work successfully. It is an undeniable truth that all forms of Art has alwase been the mirror of the society and being  a painter is not just a personal choice of profession or passion but also responsible work.

       With my work, I not only show what’s true bu it has been my primary goal to relieve the art admirers of there day-to-day,realistic struggles. Most of many work breaks the stereotypical thought processes of forms structures of nature and takes you to the world of fanrasy or an other world. The concept of my paintings brings the sense of curiosity, mystery and relaxation from the usual. My work is meant to Entertain,npaintingsy showing unearthly structures but sometimes the goal is to show the realityies with the medium of Fantasy or an other world.

      My Paintings not only contributes the society as a form of entertainment but also breaks the stereotypes paintng.My paintng techniques based the Egg-Tempra technique.I like all medium, basic colours, Formsand texture.

       I strongly believe that   the world we live in tody can really use all the help from the Artist community for the purpose of Awareness, Entertainment and Building a Globle culture.
