Artist Statement :
Thought while traversing through mind and heart, With a brush of feeling and experience When alights on canvas,
the colours lose their identity and an expression is born and starts breathing as a creation It is that moment, When thought and form
assimilate to give birth to a feeling on the plane of spiritualism.
A thing Which is not seen with eye but percepted only by soul. Soul is transparent. Transparency is the essence of soul, We all are naked beneath the clothes.
The difference is, how we think about and accept it - a formless soul or a physical body. In physicism, nakedness is uncivilized. In spiritualism,
everything is unclothed and uncurtained. Who is naked ? The form (ROOP) form is naked, but feeling is beautiful Why is it beautiful ? Because it is
formless formless; means--without form. The feeling directly touches the soul, and form limits itself to mind. That is the only difference in the perception
of beauty With form and without form. In my paintings, I have made an endeavour to find solution to such questions.
My work bears a hidden meaning which is inexpressible in words. Such hidden meaning is only a thing to be felt. The viewer--appraiser may try to find out such hidden meaning,
in accordance to the state of his environmental thinking and wisdom. Perhaps, he many get something.
