Asvind Dookhorun

In my years-spanning practice, I have explored the social, cultural and environmental themes. My distinctive personal style emanates reflective ideas, joy and peace and expresses the vibrant spirit of the atmosphere of my local culture. Exploring the emotional link between the past and the present is like creating a new world. Within the space of my canvas, I try to build a world that makes us reflect and sometimes pull us back to time. My representation seeks to portray the souvenir of where we came from: the children and the generations of our country, an identity of several shades and tones, depicting our symbiosis and synthesis of our cultural palimpsest.
