My art revolves around human conflict
with his/her surroundings. Strife, discord, disunity provoke
debate and argument with human maneuvers with nature. This
forms the content of my art, in both my sculptures and paintings.
The outcome would be an analogous psychological state of
a sensitive human questioning the contemporary environment
and its effects. Narrative stage is set where the many facets
of human amidst his/her own doings are shown in realistic
inflictions with tempered expressionistic undertones.
The
take off of my works is an impressionistic idea triggered
by a news report, and my own experiences, or the observations
that provoke the meaning of human existence, in his/her
own doings. Multifarious proportions are developed that
express anger, agony which contrast with elemental responses
of empathy, compassion and harmony with the surroundings.
The mixture of this pictorial imagery of combative resistance
and sensitive rejoinders give my imaginary art a distinct
place, of juxtaposing opposed aesthetics of pain and pleasure.
Exploring
the material has been my passion. My process involves building
or layering with spontaneity or working with detailed sketches.
I inquires into human psychological states in bits of found
objects, pieces of twisted wire etc, which are adjusted,
altered, revised into sculptures and installations or carefully
molded fibre glass, steel and cement structures that embody
aesthetic emotions. Thick layers of oil, acrylic paints
explore my painterly skills as well as linear rendering.
Gigantic
sizes of sculptures as well as paintings has been another
passion, where the process of involvement with the material
and the explorations of the emotional aspects of varied
pictorial reach a peak in the vastness of the expanse, satisfying
the artists adventurous spirit of discovering myself through
forms. This temperament of exploring the material in huge
proportions works, in terms of earnest exploration, were
the fervent, the fiery, the warmth and the compassion are
deal with exhaustive and embracing energies.
