Provides a panoramic overview and a glorious celebration of colourful cultural heritage of our society. The inspiration and dedication of colourful
ceremonies, the unwavering energy, and the kaleidoscopic intensity seems to inform my deep foundation from where I would subsequently build
the homeric fabric for my paintings. Beneath the beauty of these paintings are erudition for the audience that atmospheric surroundings and the
blissfulness of cultural activities are vital and are within reach of everyone. Furthermore, unlike the much embraced conceptual art, formative
sculptural art, or the abstract expressionism, my paintings resonate with the real life experiences and are my personal manifestation of unique
colourful experiences. However, in order to facilitate understanding, the appearance of translucent changes and effect of extremely intense
frequency of shapes give meaning to the wordings, glowing irregularly and overlapping the children faces to form separation by dispersion. Although
every feature and component of these mixed media paintings exist on the surface of the canvases, the scope and epic preparation gives room for
ignoring conventional preparation, carefully chosen wordings to correspond with the titles and the visible sensation of looking through a transparent
plane into endless shifting and astonishing world of Children imagery, visual supremacy and the complexity of festivities. These are particularly
pronounced when the audience is confronted by closely admiring the paintings. To nourish and fulfill dreams of limitless comfort and cultural
expectancy, these mixed media paintings represent unforeseeable pictorial odyssey. They are my continuous experimental manifestation of cultural
heritage that are unique in my experience.
