Artist Statement

“Art gives you wings to fly. These wings are such that you can fly anywhere and no one can stop you. All it takes is a little bit of imagination”

Imagination is a vital word when it comes to my works of Art. I communicate through symbols. Symbolism is a beautiful mode of communication. You will find a combination of forms in my paintings; cubes, stylized human figures, eyes, tea pots and if you look closely you will find the hidden meaning behind all of the symbols that I love to incorporate in my work.

My paintings are a journey. It is almost a cycle of life. There is no single focal point that you will find in my canvases. It is a reflection of my journey, a showcase of the complexities of life, thoughts, relationships and human mind that I have shown through various geometric patterns and symbols.

My imagery is multi-layered and replete with life’s many motifs, materialistic and metaphysical and colors that exude a mysterious vibrancy are drawn from many journeys, internal and external, with the forms finding their own space and place with the elements of nature -- everyday life, birds, animals, dreams and fantasies. My anthropomorphic images, part human, part animal are employed deftly to paint the emotional-scape of human beings and the complexity of man- woman relationships. Eroticism too is a recurring thread. Chandigarh’s landscape, surroundings, architecture, has also inspired many of my series of works, as he constantly explores new ways to express through my art. Drawing remains my first passion, as I creates hundreds of sketch books, which also contain my poetry and tell many stories, as I embarks on new artistic journeys.
