CONCEPT: Elements and their relation to the various stages of human life. INSPIRATION: I was doodling and the page was fully covered with different doodles. After a few days when I was looking at the page, one doodle caught my eye because it looked like the 5 elements. I worked on the thought and decided to paint it. This painting depicts the elements - Earth, Air, Water, Fire & Ether - in relation to the human being and his mental state as human life revolves around the five elements. The ‘Earth’ is depicted by pro-creation, which forms the roots of the tree. As one rises from this state, one experiences the freedom of ‘Air’, represented by the leaves on the tree. Man then explores the world with this newly found freedom & reaches the depths of his mind depicted in the ocean - ‘Water’ Enlightened, he rises like the ‘Fire’ and vaporizes into the ‘Ether’ all around. This ‘Tree of Life’ has a strange face that you have not seen before. This is because if you have complete control over even one element, you can go beyond the realms of the known world. SIZE: PLEASE TAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF SIZE AS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Will Occupy WALL SPACE of - 56.25” x 56.25” inches Since the painting hangs on the diagonal of the square size, rather than the side of the square, the wall space it occupies is 56.25” vertically and horizontally. NOTE: There is no white area around the canvas. The painting is Edge to Edge in a 36" x 36" Canvas. The package size therefore will be approximately 40” x 40” inches as when balanced on its side, each side is about 36” inches without the frame. A small portion of the painting has been retouched by me personally in the year 2019, as a child accidentally put a small brush stroke on it. Now it is restored to how it was originally. FRAME: The painting has a very minimalistic wooden frame in natural shade (light brown)

BIRTH PLACE & INFLUENCE I was born in Chennai which was then called Madras and brought up in Bombay, now Mumbai. All the diverse cultures in India come together in Mumbai and I grew up in that mixed culture absorbing the essence of ‘Indian-ness’, whether it is in the clothes I wear or the language I speak or the designs I create. I call it the fusion culture and it is reflected in my art. In Mumbai, the over-crowded city, I could see how different cultures co-existed and complimented each other. In my art too styles co-exist. Though there will always be an underlying similarity in my art, I leave that part to the discerning eye of art lovers to explore and discover. STATEMENT My works are about my experiences in life and my interpretation of it, be it a dream, a thought or even words and phrases. I can resort to experiments too to satisfy my curious mind. Some of my subjects are elements of nature, the sea, relationships like parent and child, self-portrait, interpretations of my dreams, dance forms, stones, war, emotions etc. My subjects border on the philosophical and at times touch the spiritual. I vary my style to suit the topic. If need be, I switch to abstract too as I love the intrigue that abstracts afford. I do not use any visual references for my concept based art. It comes from deep within or from my own doodles. For Landscapes, I either sketch on the spot or make use of my own photographs of the place. When I paint, I am deeply lost, engrossed, in thought and one with the subject. I paint alone in the peace and silence of my home cum studio. I like my audiences to interpret my art in their own way and tell me what they see and feel in it. I love it if the viewer is drawn deep into the work and sees something more each time. My favourite historical artists are Vincent Van Gogh and Salvador Dali. I have been asked by some if I draw my Inspiration from Chagall and there are those who think there is an influence of Wassily Kandinsky. But I personally have no take on that. I leave it to my audiences to decide. As for myself, once I have the subject in mind, my hands automatically move in tune with the thought and that’s all that matters to me. POETRY Sometimes, inspired by the paintings, I write poetry too, often as explanations to the artwork. MEDIUM & MATERIALS Experimenting with medium and materials is always exciting for me and so is the mixing of two mediums in one canvas.
