The Past, Present and Future. Oil paint on canvas board 14" x 18". I've used the impasto technique with a palette knife to differentiate the present and try to convey the blurry, churning emotions I feel about the present. And to portray the usual differences between past, present & future. We live in tumultuous times. The threat is invisible, odorless and untouchable. We are trying to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. Our routines and plans have been cancelled, shelved or drastically altered. It seems like we are living in a raging storm where everything is a roiling mess with no definite end in sight. Right now in the drudgery of daily living, yesterday, today, and tomorrow are all mixed. There is no real change in daily routines to distinguish weekends or special days like birthdays. Everything seems to be a blur. We are scared, confused and apprehensive. We have the past to reminisce about and the future to look forward to. The past has slipped away and what we really have, is a patchwork quilt of memories. Highlights fondly recalled and lows regretted, are what clearly stand out in this patchwork quilt. However there is always the future to look forward to. There is always hope to look forward to. Changes to make after living in this churning mess of today. New plans to make, new dreams to spin. "There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope". - Bernard Williams "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.” - Emily Dickinson.

I was born in Cochin, India but moved to Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa when I was 3 months old and grew up there. I have always sketched and painted through out my life. I am a self taught artist, though I do like attending short courses that help in improving my technique. Currently I like using oil paints and right now I'm fascinated by the idea that all of us are a mixture of different people or personalities, and that we unconsciously or consciously alter who we are depending on the person or situation we are dealing with. Most of my paintings are of faces that reflect the many personas we adopt. The face is like a mirror to our souls, conveying our deepest desires, fears and hopes. Sometimes we are able program our expressions and feelings to control how much we convey to the world like a well painted picture with the correct angles and symmetry of color. But occasionally it is impossible command our emotions and feelings into a semblance of disciplined expressions. I like using open and closed eyes, exaggerated lips, and different colors to convey these different mini persons in us. I also like toying with the idea that we are all not a hundred percent man or woman in the traditional classification of the genders. Parts of us will always be feminine, masculine or childish depending on how we want to be. The possibilities are fascinating. A couple of paintings I have tried to construct in a way that they can be hung in any orientation. This is continuation of the idea, that we have many facets to ourselves. Hence the change in orientation of presentation gives importance to that aspect of our inner self that is important at that point in time. I like to think that art is very subjective and gives meaning, expression and purpose not only to the artist who created it but also to the viewer or audience. By allowing the audience to choose the orientation (how the painting is hung) or combinations of canvases to arrange or rearrange as per their preferences, they too become a part of the artistic expressive process.
