I look around and I am amazed... Amazed and awestruck by the
most stunning masterpiece ever created- Nature. It is not just a source of
inspiration but an artist’s paradise. I have embraced it with all my heart and
have admired it through my paintings. These abstract artworks are my way of
expressing my love for nature through the colours of my imagination and
creativity. I have portrayed how I see nature, not with my eyes but with my
mind and heart.
My painting is all about light and how we see it and react
to it. It is what drives artists on. It is why most of us paint. Yet light can
be as elusive as a wisp of smoke as we try to capture it in all its many moods.
My brush is never still.
For me, painting is as much a part of the day as eating and
sleeping. In fact, it’s more important
than that, more like breathing! I could not imagine a single day passing
without talking about, reading about, or actually taking part in some kind of
activity concerning art. Like a moth is drawn to a flame, a painter is drawn to
the light, and although I have tried to express myself with painting in many
different forms, mediums and styles over the years, my path has lead me
inexorably, like so many others before me, to try and capture that elusive
quality of light, that only a shimmering sunset, dawn of a new day, dazzling
sparkle of reflection off both sea and river presents to one who is prepared to
both look and see.
Avinash’s style is bold and vigorous, both in the use of Oil
and handling of paint, as he explores the effect of light on his subject.
Seeking atmosphere through light and colour, he works in varying degrees of
abstraction.
