The ‘ EYE ’ in My Art

Art is understood and finds meaning when a lifetime is spent in pursuing the mind and the thoughts within the artist in solitude in harmony with nature.

Every painter follows life and aspires in his lifetime to create a body of work which imparts pulsating life with great art. I consider myself to be an artist with a mission ,challenging my creative thought process to stretch beyond its comfortable zone My creative satisfaction is derived from delivering something new and fresh.

I also believe that I would want to document the times to which I belong as a true artist, trying to capture images I see in subjects and objects that intrigue my point of interest. I strive to look for “the moment” in time which withholds the tension, emotion, movement in my creative space.

My forte is figurative drawing in contemporary style ,a style I have adapted true to my nature and hope will stand its own. I don’t always follow the narrative but tend to create a body of work on the subject I approach with fervour.

My interest at that point becomes the subject reacting to light, the lines, the dramatic intermingling of colours, though my pallete is more often of a monocromatic toneage, a subtle composition obtained therefore to give the moment in the painting almost a lifelike space.
