Fire N Ice

2011-10-30T02:57:00.000-07:00

My paintings speak of just 1 thing LOVE, UNISION, TOGETHERNESS, LOVE~for me thats life, i am in love with the term "love" thats Oxygen, thats life, I romance with Life & there is a great saying that "LOVE SEES NO FAULTS" as long as there is love in any object, physical being, or a relation we will not be seeing the negativity in it, when love fades, the visibility of negativity is perceived hence it is so important to keep That Love alive & i feel that important elemant is missing all over the world today.....maybe my paintings are sensual, but i dont harp on sexuality, i mean, just togetherness in life, so we grow in life, thats what i had wanted.....each and everyone should be able to do their own thing, there should be space between partners, between ppl and friends there should be trust, there should be respect, & by being together, means exchanging views, understanding, & then to move ahead, not move alone in life.....BUT MOVE AHEAD, towards betterment, progress, helping the environment, ppl around you, hence The World at large. Man is a Social animal, we live in a society, all together, but are not necessarily TOGETHER, differece in views, ideas, thoughts are wonderful as each individual soul helps to come together as ONE whole, with their individuality, nurturing Nature, & my Art Works are totally Abstract, are eco friendly and they speak volumes about nature and environment. For me creativity is all around, its just tht i am not copying Almighty's creation to the dot & the " t",but also am potraying my views along with His creation for a better tomorrow... Its very unfortunate that in Our Beautiful World, there are fights,killings, assasinations, bloodshed, all in the name of The Creator & We are HIS Creation ~ before I reached the Modern Education System I never knew the world is divided according to Colour, Race, Religion, under the same sky, sun, moon & on the same planet !! We are each like individual fish, swimming in a watery world, separate yet connected to each other as the great ocean of consciousness flows through us, so why the discrimination...!!!!

NOSTALGIA IN THE RAIN ~ The Monsoons have a charm of its own, being my Favourite season .
The rain drops falling gives birth to the sprouting of seeds, the beginning of Life, hence, new Beginings, the mystical breeze, the smell of damp mud, the tiny puddles, watching children play, in the rain, at the beach, the river-side, near a river bank, watching the peacock dance, women carrying pots of water, busy with their daily chores, the stunning shades melting & merging in the sky & me watching this Magical Romantic Awesome Season which is so thrilling, I decided to capture it on my Canvas…
ABOUT THE PAINTINGS. There is a series from ~ “Stop Animal & Bird Abuse and Cruelty! Save the Rare species series, Preserve Nature. “ & here is displayed stylised Peacock Feathers, These beautiful birds dance in the rain, showing their colourful feathers, hence this brings to mind a Rain-dance, the Peacock Dance, & the droplets on the feathers . A Fusion of Vibrance of the most Awesome colours in Nature.
The composition of bright colours, bring in positive energy, each colour depicting various moods, as cheerfulness, energy, vigor,(Yellow) serenity, spirituality,(Violet & Purple) Warmth, (Orange) Adventure (Red) Abundence (Green) Peace & Tranquility (White) Passion & Beauty (Pink) Calmness (Blue) gold (wealth) & I also show copper, bronze (Mother earth) as we all owe something in return, our being is a Blessing, we cherish Life, we are indebted for this Tremendous Gift, a responsibility towards ourselves, our families, & society, so it is necessary to save our enviournment & this is the hidden message for all of us ..
Lines by a Famous Fenshui expert Aaron Shuichi Wong : Hanging this (peacock feather) in the house is believed to chase out negative energy .

I beleive every exhibition has changed me for the better, my views about People, family, loved ones, my passion for art which will never die....& that Life has taught me to go on Learning, its an on-going process, as we all Learn, un-learn, re-learn....& i hope to Live in Hearts & Souls of People through my Art-works, My Paintings......!!!!!!

All exhibitions are Unique, they leave an indelible Impression on my Mind, heart & Soul.....

My Exhibition UTOPIA

2009-04-06T02:13:00.000-07:00

I had a recent exhibition here @ Ronak art gallery, Mumbai,i met fellow artists, art collectors, frds from college days, well-wishers, family, loved ones....The topic for all those 8 days was ART, GOSH......i explained what i did, y, what got me inspired...it was a WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL WEEK, SO THAT WAS THE TOPIC, FROM TURBULENCE TO TRANQUILITY, BLISS, DAILY CHORES, TOGETHERNESS, UNISON, PEACE, A MESSEGE THAT ALL MY PAINTINGS CARRIED....i loved it, & am delighted to do that,loads of women here in India, do commit suicide, due to supression, lack of education, joint families, money, in-laws...etc& i just wanted to give the messege of educating one's self, help, care, share, & to voice their opinions, so it can be like by voicing your opinion, you are helping yourself, hence helping the family, the society, & the nation by large......A crtics anylisisHi ,"The Critic has to educate the Public,The Artist has to educate the Critic" Oscar Wilde.Well i m not that expert to comment on ur paintings but yet some angle frm my point of view ur Silhouttes of women is striking in their honesty. In their whitted simplicity , rendering cynical feel suggesting our safe havens are rarely as benign as we presume. A medic looms over an unconscious women who in her docility implies certain level of victimization, leaving one to wonder.....Ur landscape surpises me of ur potray as silver sun effect is somethig wimsical ....Thats all keep it up!Success always at ur footstepsbye
