Life is always teaching us lessons and what we learn from these lessons is what builds our character and changes our personality. These experiences help us mature, only if we are ready to learn from them. Yet we are constantly fighting these instincts and trying to live a lie. Introspection, understanding our inner self and getting in touch with our inert instincts, help us to awaken the truth. 'The Awakening' is about that moment in life when suddenly we come face to face with the truth and we are unable to handle it and yet we do not want to run away from it any more. It is about being honest to one's self and finding solace in it. It is about realizing that there is nothing which is absolute in this world and nothing which we can control. I used watercolor wash on handmade paper and then drew in the details with a pen using waterproof ink.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

After graduating as a Bachelor in Fine Arts, I have worked as a graphic designer for 6 years in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi. I resumed creating independent artworks in the varied mediums of painting, digital graphics and art installations after moving back to Kolkata in the year 2008. My chosen medium is watercolor and pen drawing on paper. My art works are an exercise in exploration of the self, as a creature of nature; an evolution through understanding of my physical, sensual and spiritual needs. They are expressions of personal confusions, visions, emotions and realizations. On one hand they are projections of my thoughts on worldly matters, which often baffle and trouble me, on the other they are personifications of my lunacies, fantasies, magical dreams, wicked thoughts and mischievous self expressions. Through their untamed and fantastic imagery, they are intimately mine and ultimately me.
