“All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.”
The essential function of art, in all its mediums, is two fold; it is a channel of expression and its manifestation takes on the dimension of creativity. Ultimately, it provides sustenance to the soul.
A work of art is a culmination of an artist’s beliefs, experiences and desires. It is an intensely personal creation, a journey through the artist’s mind and a reflection of the artist’s psyche.
In India, art stems from divinity; music, dance, poetry, sculpture and painting were an integral part of religion. Places of worship were the cradles that nurtured various art forms and imparted divinity to them, connecting the artist, the audience and the patron to spirituality and joy.
Art being essentially transcendent in nature should aim at showing paths towards a higher plane of consciousness and enrich both the artist and the observer by its association.
The threads of diversity that make up the fabric of life are my inspiration. My concerns are with the ultimate truth and the tranquility and simplicity of the reality beyond the apparent. The works are a travelogue of the epic journey of self-discovery and an attempt to understand and delineate the essence of being.
