Strokes of Nature



To me, every person I come across is like a Case Study – a world of its own. If I relate my paintings to them, the exterior of every individual is so intricately camouflaged to casual freedom that at times the common human mind may fail to discover the imperfection outlined on the scales of human emotion.

Visually speaking, one might try to conceal those lines of heartache with pretentious smiles and outbursts of natural laughter at times as consolation. Artistically, these fractures usually go unnoticed with the shades of smudged paints as they overlap every stroke that had almost distorted the original innocent idea.

Over the years, I painstakingly studied consistently on these crevices in the human world and I must admit I have yet a world to learn from them as there seems to be no bottom-line to it.

When I get to work with my findings, I camouflage my characters with nature and my work, no matter how vivid they may appear to the audience does stand out solitarily by themselves for ages unchanged. The stillness in every masterpiece is an autobiography itself. People, to me are nothing any less.
