WAYS OF SEEING
THE PURSUIT OF ABSTRACT OR NON-OBJECTIVE ART:
As a young contemporary artist my primary preoccupation has always been the development of an
unique, personal visual language that reflects the vibrations and nuances of our times. . My work
utilizes the conflict between the good and evil, the ‘Struggle’ between the benevolent and malevolent
side of notions like idealism and materialism. Artist’s “dualism” also signifies the complementary
opposition of yin and yang, the interrelated and interdependent forces of the natural world such as
light and dark, water and fire or meanings like positive and negative.
OBJECTIVE:
At the time of instability in nature, during this century, we are equally sensitive and responsible in
receiving & perceiving thought of minds. We want to recapture the mood or essence of nature to
commemorate the ideology in which, i grew up from the beginning, to recreate it in an inner
disciplined way. Through my colour palate, i am trying to paint different colour, create different space
and language in a certain way.
Generated a profound sense of symbolism while reflecting a universal message, which
resonates with a profound visual narrative as i reveal the invisible within the visible? The spiritual
artistic journey that i portray in my stellar oeuvre was a triumph of personal expression.
