ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Overall, my paintings are inspired by emotions such as joy, happiness, music, fanstasy, films, dreams, and the colors in nature during seasons, and the festivals of my native India and above all therapeutics. Because of the vivid colors and textural They have been deemed suitable for collectors and commissioning clients who have acquired my art. I hope the viewers of this piece feel and think of vivid colors and glowing surfaces as evoking joyful feelings in them. I chose glossy acrylic paints and textures that glow to achieve a luminous surface quality that it conveys. While this piece is inspired by the emotion of joy, an accompanying piece of similar dimensions titled "Melodious Waves" is featured on this website which is inspired by music. The two pieces can be acquired separately, or together as a diptych (or two paneled work).

Artist's Statement My series of widely acquired and commissioned paintings since 1999, have since been progressively inspired by sensory emotions such as joy/happiness, music, films, fantasy, dreams, the colors of seasons, and the colorful festivals and costumes characteristic of my native India, gardens and continually evolving seasons. I generally choose acrylic paint as main medium, often accompanied by permanent texture materials such oriental papers, gold leaf, sand, and fibers to create mixed media. Commissions welcome. Overall, my ongoing thematic body of paintings compare the mental emotion of happiness as a “visual entity” and defining happiness as “fleeting and ephemeral” to short-lived garden blooms and continually evolving seasons. The colorfulness and myriad collaged materials that I often employ intend to evoke joy in my viewers, and the illusion of the imagery extending beyond the confines of their two-dimensional surfaces is exciting! My concept alludes to trying phases followed by positive and happy periods in human life as with continually changing and evolving seasons in nature. Some of my commissions in recent years by private and business clients include a three-paneled painting for the CEO of Biaggis Restaurants in Bloomington, Illinois in 2016, a 5 feet X 3 feet mixed media work created for a client's residence in Boston, MA in 2017, and a pair of acrylic paintings commissioned in sizes of 7 feet high and 3.4 feet wide installed in the home of the President of Ulliman Schutte Construction in Miamisburg, Ohio in 2020. I have enjoyed a continuing successful career. From 1999 until 2003, several of my originals had initially begun to be acquired through an online marketing company. Since that period, numerous originals have continued to be acquired by business clients, and commissioned as public art by organizations and educational institutions. In 2004, my art entered the public realm. MGM Resorts International commissioned me to create a pair of paintings that were based on two of my earlier originals. The larger, signed acrylic and mixed media paintings measured 6 feet high and four feet across were installed in the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas during that year. The famed location and commission earned praise and wide recognition for my work.
