For 13th Arte Laguna PrizeIt is my thinking that the 'Curiosity is the mother of creation' because it is for innerrequirement. Through this I replace the sentence 'Necessity is the mother ofinvention'. because it is only for outer comfort.Any substance or medium can be helpful in my painting such as oil colour, watercolour or any kind of other material like clay, sand, river sand etc-I use river sand oncanvas in my painting and I search out all the kind of plasticity in this medium. Itranslated colour into sand and sand into colour. With adhesive sand sticksparmanently.
