Geometrical View- 153 Painting

Sacred geometry inherent in the universe is the primary source of inspiration for my works as a painter. This inspiration is coupled with the philosophy originating from my personal experiences of my native culture and the mysterious ways in which the Nature functions. Thus I am drawn to abstraction forming a fundamental part of my pictorial practice and search for the genesis of the cosmos. In Indian tradition source of energy is metaphorically referred as goddess .i.e. female form of genesis. I adhere to this source of energy as my prime idea of representation in my paintings, in an abstract manner portraying the yoni - female organ for reproduction. In order to convey my idea of this energy I use an impasto technique of applying the pigment that not only enhances the colour but the reverberance created as the visual effect. However the three dimensional effect enlivens through the study of the ancient Ellora caves of India. The simplified forms in my works bear significance, as I believe in basic geometry to be very influential to create impacting subject. Lyrical forms tend to distract the direct perception and hence I avoid decorative elements in my compositions. I am a seeker of the cosmogeny through the visual synthesis. The mystery behind all the reproduction always mesmerizes me with numerous narratives and myths. The world is present before us in its bounties with only partial comprehension through human mind and rational world. The ancient Indic ‘Purana’, ‘Vedas’ impart the knowledge of genesis in multiple ways followed in a matriarchal tradition for generations together. My short span of stay in Chennai gave me lot of subject to paint and to solve the mystery behind the evolution of life. The cultural insignia in Chennai made me curious to understand the nitty-gritty’s of the regional practices of the women, especially their gesture of wearing white bindi and draped in multi coloured sari, jewellery and bunch of flowers. This led my search to the sculptures and paintings of Ellora Caves where I found the representation of life in its multitudes. Hence my works are the extension to my inquisitiveness for cosmogony.
