Creativity lies in the attitude of the artist,
The work is just the manifestation of that creativity
Painting is the most creatively satisfying form of my expression. While painting I get transcended to a level which makes me experience my core essence. This is the state of consciousness where contemplation begins. These thoughts generated are influenced by my vision, emotions and current affairs. My paintings are highly thought centric, contemporary and introspective. They interact with you, provoke thought, action and intellect. I am a strong proponent for constructive art. An art that has the potential to influence the contemporary times with its journey, is constructive in true sense. Subjects often seen in my paintings include spirituality, philosophy, mysticism, social issues, current affairs, women and nature.

I love harmonizing my paintings with other art forms of art. I love doing live paintings on the beats of music, performances, dance and theatre. I feel I am with all the art forms at a time while I am doing live painting.
During one of my interactions with fine arts students, I asked them to describe their paintings. To my surprise, they started giving narrations on colors, style, effects and little was spoken on the thought behind the painting. If this is how the future is looking at this art form and if this is the present scenario where art valuation focuses more on technique compared to the thought, Plato's (ancient greek philosopher) perception about the paintings and artists is going to be proved true. Plato excoriates painting as a mere 'craft' similar to shoe making and iron casting. read more
