Statement

Artists Statements I do not think I create the artwork; I rather feel the artwork creates me. My paintings are moments built with colors, textures, and patterns. While I am engrossed with my tools of creativity ably supported by the colors and the palette, there is a strong drive from within to delve into an alternate reality It is a layer of emotions underneath. What you eventually discover is finally in reconciliation with the soul. My greatest joy is when my art collector/ buyers/ friends have come back saying that the paintings make them feel positive and they believe it emits an aura of harmony and wellbeing. My goal is when someone lends me their wall, I am responsible for their wellbeing and must contribute a little bit to their lives, even if it’s an iota through the magic of colors and the thought process it can. There is a lifelong connection that the Artist & Art establishes with the collector or the buyer. You are taking a part of me to your home and your home is lending its warmth to me. The art must speak with you, it must be able to merge or define your taste. The Art must call you out every single day to explore deeper into it, that is the lifelong bond that gets created between a buyer and the Art. There should be an awareness while buying art because it’s not just buying a piece of canvas with the metal frame but a tangible piece of memories, name, the senses, and the elements that went into the creation of the piece. The price that you are willing to pay for a piece of art is directly proportional to the value of this lifelong silent exchange. Art means different things to different people, it connects with people differently, it builds different consciousness that is precisely the beauty of it. Explaining an artwork to anyone is difficult and I believe it should be left to the audience. It's like imposing a thought onto the other person. Sometimes the conversations during the process of understanding the artwork create a new piece of art in my mind. And that is why I say Art has the supernatural power of joining souls. It is creating a series while we are all falling apart. An Artist is ultimately connecting people’s minds. I believe in connections and the “cause n effect” philosophy. Through Art I see it happening, and with each such instance, I feel grateful that I can unleash and free my spirits. An artist never feels that the artwork is ever complete. The quest and the fulfillment are not of the artist alone but of the horoscope of the art itself. It is always a work in progress. Therefore, what we call creation is not the art itself but through the art, the creation of harmony, peace, and mindfulness
