About The Artwork

Here in this painting I am recollecting all my feelings during the transition period of the winter and spring. In winter when the nature is very dull and shivering out of cold, leaves are falling down, the prince Vasant (the spring season) is waiting to take birth. So at the end of winter a massive transformation is happening in the nature. When the news of the birth of new born Vasant spreads all over the nature, she starts preparing herself as a princess to welcome her lover Vasant. So she is smearing flowers, a maiden is playing drum, a swan was passing by and got astonished, the cuckoo is creating harmony by chirping, the peacock is also surprised by all the happenings, the Palash flowers and mastered flowers have started blooming in the field. The nature is dancing keeping the old behind and transforming towards the new. In Indian aesthetics Painting, Music, Dance and Theatre have a co-relation of its expression and in that ‘Raga’, a unique composition of music (there are several Ragas, Raginis and Ragaputras), is a common subject matter. In painting it is called as ‘Ragamala’ paintings. It is based on different season and different time. I personally like the Raga ‘Vasant’; it means ‘The Spring Season’.

I started painting when I was 5 years old. At the age of 12 I was able to handle watercolor and oil colors proficiently under the guidance of Chandrasekhar N. a renowned and accomplished artist of India. Later I joined DMS Fine Art Academy for my BFA and then MVA. Then I moved to Mumbai, the hub of Art in India and settled. In between around 10 years I worked in the field of media and animation and currently working as a faculty in Zee Institute of Creative Art, Mumbai for last 8 years. I always tried to express my emotions towards life and truth through my paintings and experimented to depict it through the language of art. I observe everything around me and try to portray what appeals me with loosely used brushstrokes. I love to use watercolor, oil and acrylic but sometime work with pigments. Some of my works basically deal with Indian aesthetics which is evident from the economy of lines used and simplicity of expression. Sometime the paintings display a subtle understanding of spiritualism and offer a bridge between realism and abstraction (rational and irrational world / tangible and the intangible world). I emphasize on Indian principles making extensive use of Indian motifs. What I try to express is 'Navarasa', the nine expressions.
