Riaz Samadhan

Artist's Statement-

I have been working on the themes of perceptions, emotions, phenomena, queries, motivation, interpersonal relationships and the psycho-social ethos of my immediate world.
The observation of life has a 'why' and 'how' attached to it. The perceived reality always has an intriguing, real inner layer to it; the layer which animates it. I am keen to know that push of life.
My practice essentially mirrors this eagerness, and enthrallment.
