Artist’s Statement

Being a creative soul by nature, I have been expressing myself through words, colors and images since childhood.  I have used Fujicolor on paper to represent my subjective views, responses. The painting “Fragmentation” (2021) depicts the body parts as the metaphor of post-mortem and the altogether violence done onto bodies. The painting “Aquatic” (2021) captures the images of the aquatic leaves whereas “The Face” (2021) deals with the idea of the distortion of the face/ identity of a lady. The last painting, “Reflection” (2021), narrates the story of the pond and the metaphorical meaning of reflection.
