Art is understood and finds meaning when a lifetime is spent in pursuing the mind and thoughts within the artist in solitude ,in harmony with nature.My interest in Nude comes from my love of what is pure and in tune with nature’ s purest form.When you take away the thin veil,what remains is the fine form sans the mask ,hence making the subject vulnerable and delicate,yet closest to being real.Nude is this form of nature, be it depicted in its natural perception where Nude then is also the stripping away of layers of fabricated illusions.

My thrust to all my series has been to get to that window where I can develop the third eye to go beyond to that space where Nude becomes the barrier which has been diminished and what remains is the simple truth of nature ripe with the real and the vulnerable. Talsari,the life of fishermen of Orissa is also that space which has been lost to modernatization of the simplicity of community and culture which also brings in the realism of folk art forms which became roots of our culture and epics written in extravagant imagery strewn with belief and faith, …my series Raavana- the making, the real and simple life of the Titarpur Banjar family,pursuing an art form from generations.Nude is nature in its openness and whole,where the Circle of Life,birth ,hunger,lust and death is life in the raw and nude.Therefore my effort is to be in tune and one with nature which is the only true way I can worship life .
