Artist's Statement
Painting has always been very close to my heart. . An essential part of my life... The best way to express.. Express the observations about things, people, their behaviour and the contrast in it... The dilemma in which people live. The fight they have with their own feelings. .
Everyone is blessed with a great gift of various feelings.. of love, hope, affection, attraction... but no one has escaped from feelings of hatred, confusion, denial, betrayal too... But irony is people don't want to admit and accept it as a part of life.
Everyone has some or the other fantasies, attractions, but they are not spoken about.. Merely because of the pressure of "what will others think of me?" However the thoughts may be, they are left unexpressed, feelings unaddressed out of this inhibition. Similar is the situation in other one's mind too.
But I feel, because it is left unexpressed, it stops at the point of mere attractions... And a precious, beautiful mind is left unexplored.
Very few people show the courage of exploring it, expressing the feelings in correct way and escape from the mirage of attraction.
This has always given me challenge to depict it. This is MY attraction. But I take the liberty and express it fully. . Hope this liberates others also from their mirage.
