The act of painting is a enriching and a soulful process, a non-verbal and
visual means of communicating with the subconscious. Painting allows us to
totally get absorbed with our inner-being, where we can withdraw from the world
and connect with the unconscious. Our hidden self. Over time, my art has been a
therapeutical journey for the mind and the soul. My artistic impetus has been
influenced by the Northern Romantic painters, Caspar David Friedrich’s soulful
sublime images and J.W.M Turner’s Thespian, dramatic semi-abstract contrasting
darks hues against luminous tones that imbue emotions. Both sway between
sublimity, serenity and awe-inspiring beauty. Similarly, Rothko’s ethereal
canvases evoke a spirituality through mysterious broken blocks of colour and
luminous layers of light that weaves in and out of the gaps, offering the viewer
an experience of transcendence. My Indian heritage and Africa birthplace have
influenced my painting from a deeper space within. For last twenty-five years, I
have used painting as a creative and a therapeutical tool for self-analysis and
higher awareness. Each of my canvases aims to offer the viewer the pleasure of
the imagination, where the viewer sees more than just a recognisable forms but
find themselves through the pleasure art appreciation. Not unlike both Friedrich
and Turner’s art. I aim to encourage the viewer a voyeuristic perspective to
exploring hidden dialogues. A pleasure of the imagination.
