Artist Statement | I, too, am a part of this history
The works are a culmination of the elements of spirituality deeply rooted in collective memory as our history. The entire art practice revolves around Love and Peace. These paintings are a gentle warm embrace to all those who view it. They are like silent prayers for everyone, the entire Bani Adam. It is based on the teachings given to me by my elders who showed us by example how to lead a better life. A life that sees no caste colour or creed, a life that would break the divides and recognize each other united as brothers and sisters in Faith and in Humanity.
