Untitled Painting

These works of mine are metaphor or personification of nature itself. Structural forms, shapes, texture, surface are the chief parts of my painting. I create textures to map the architectural land through impasto brushstrokes and pigment. Processes of memory perception, identification and familiarization with textural bodies and eroded surfaces continue through tactile sensations. Surface forms and objects are formed through uncertainty, absence and accidental playfullness. The texture develops layer by layer through continuous repair and erasure. My works create a lonely, quiet, rough or smooth place where time seems to stand still. Deserted, eroded surface, plateau, hill, dry branch, bark, rock, swamp----all give birth to old memories and emotions. I cannot resist myself from responding to their irresistible call and they become my chief objects of the work. Consciously I do not bring any living object in my work. Infact numb, inanimate objects exist in space and a visual dialogue is born between them. This very silence and solitude of nature is the soul of my work. In the midst of this vastness and emptiness of nature, the lost folk life seems to be a faint memory.
