About His Art
He is presently working on a Series ‘In Search Of Self’ and ‘Budhha’. He began working on the subject “In Search Of Self” few years back. As the name suggests it is the search into one’s own inner self. Searching self is like searching the universe. It is a journey between earth and space. It may not necessarily be realistic search but bending towards obstructional concept. Life as we live is a heady mix of dreams and reality. In Search of self depicts a journey that begins from hope with reality interspersed in between. On the other hand, Buddhism starts with the assumption that normal functioning is full of suffering caused by a false sense of self, and works to get people from a state of “normal” to enlighten.
The colour and composition used in a simplest way emphasizes spirituality as a fact of the universe and the journey of the fact towards spirituality.
