About Artist

All my paintings have people wearing some headgear that has a face painted on them. This depicts the double-faced nature of people. Like we see in most profession where one wears uniform, like a policeman, a nurse, an army personnel or the Pope. One wears headgear to go with it as well. To me it is the depiction of the fact that we always wear a face that is different from the real one we have. It is like a face we have to put up to suit the personality we want to project which is always different from the real one. For the past 25 years, acrylic colour has been the main medium for my paintings. After doing the line drawing on paper or canvas, a layer of acrylic is used like tempera on it. Then slowly the subjects and people are given shape using more layers of colour. Since I use fast colour, it gives a definite brightness to the figures. My figures have a definite inspiration from Egyptian paintings, thus the figures are drawn in the same form, the clothes that they wear have long lines making them look taller and in a way Egyptian. Most of my paintings are on 42½ x 48½ size which takes about 100 hours. My paintings, in a way are people I live with. They give me inspiration to produce more, to experiment more and thus to create my own world with them. It’s my world that I want the world to see.

Description

we all are gregariously heading towards a never ending staircase without knowing the difference between need and desire. This leads us to the mirage and the world of dissatisfaction. we are starving our souls to meet unrealistic goals. we have been searching for the illusion of happiness. so instead of focusing on the external rewards of life, focus on your internal state. Happiness is a state of mind and not a commodity to buy.
