I have been born & brought up in a village.
The artist in me took shape in rural surroundings.
Many sacraments of village are imbibed on my mind.
I observed many changes taking place in villages.
The impressions are still fresh in my mind.
The smell of the soil enthralls me.
Like nature, the innocent, tranquil & straight
Forward rustics appear natural.
They are one with nature.
They never appear to me different.
To interpret their oneness with nature.
Many colors are visible in the village.
However I specially see the red color.
I am impressed by tiles of the houses; walls, red dust spreading in the atmosphere, gray, mossy and white soiled walls.
Nestled among the small hills and mounds, the scattered village houses catch my attention.
The shape emanating from these houses imbibe on my mind.
The sparking light on water during moonlight night, the dark of in the morning & in the evening create mystery. Such sights hide deep into the inner mind, which I never notice.
When I try to represent this sight, I do not notice when they appear in my painting.
As music in the poetry of sound, so also painting is the poetry of sight.
For me painting is the music of my mind.
Many impressions of the sights are spontaneous.
I capture the tone, color, form, line, texture and space.
With this starts my journey of painting.
