Artists

I start with a blank canvas and a blank mind and then stories and images emerge from a dialogue between the canvas and the mind. I indulge in painting with no subject matter but only expressions of melting endless queue, skyscrapers, movement of people, windows of the buildings, and queue at the common water tap and then begin with full energy and inner feelings which come out in the form of expressions of life. Some expressions are unexplained but the expression is an expression in itself, which cannot be explained. We can see and feel it and thus it’s visual expression. Using a stick as a medium to move the color from one end of the canvas to the other my “Dripping – Style” technique highlights free and spontaneous subconscious feelings and emotions, which are suppressed for a longer time and with the flow of the color, they too flow very naturally. I play with gestures of expressions in parts which then form one whole expression. With a smooth canvas as a surface, I prepare the base with a flat pigment and play with a diverse set of materials. My repertoire includes materials such as acrylic, watercolor, ink, oil colors household paints an equally varied set of tools such as brushes, cloth, metal wires, rollers, tubes, socks, and bare hands too. Thus, these act as a cathartic release for my emotions and thoughts.
