Banaras 15-2014 Painting

My paintings are the true reflection depicting the holy city Banaras (Varanasi) in an abstract manner. Indian meadows with their extreme stretch, inhabitant on the river coasts, fertile or unfertile land approached or surrounded by rivers, the bridges and crossings, lively and nurturing forests and vegetation find space in the series of paintings titled ‘Banaras’. The beliefs and myths deeply rooted in the hearts of rural races, holy & serene ghats of the Ganges, majestic temples, spiritual shades of bright yellow and orange filling in the atmosphere… all these things have jointly made the subject of my paintings completely genuine and lively. It is neither an imitation nor an adopted thought from any sources. Using the rich spatula technique, the works have been done in an abstract manner with varied color combinations.
