‘See’ - No Evil series 1 Painting

I guess I would have to classify myself as a self taught artist not having an MFA or a BFA degree. I am a happy mix of self learning and a bit more formally from established artists in workshops and institutions. And after 20 years of figuring out things, I wouldnt want it any other way! The journey of understanding and making art, for me, is a continuous learning process: Improving existing skills, learning new ones and most of all growing with the experiments and experience. Drawing and painting are an integral part of my life, something I am passionate about. People, their moods, interactions and emotions are an ongoing source of curiosity and interest to me. What I'm searching for is their inner personalities, their thoughts and there are stories I build around them as I work. I like portraying feelings of people when they are alone, lost in their thoughts, caught unawares. Those are the special moments that appeal to me most. I love to experiment and use a variety of medium ranging from oil, charcoal, printmaking, clay to the digital medium. Regardless, my focus remains fixed on the human form. My paintings are created with fast, loose brushstrokes to capture energy and spontaneity. Occasionally, a stray brush hair may become embedded in the paint—a natural result of the handcrafted process. These subtle imperfections are not flaws but a testament to the authenticity and tactile nature of the work. They add character and remind us of the human touch behind each piece. I hope you’ll appreciate these unique details as part of the story and charm of the artwork.
