ABOUT SELLER

My paintings are a visual record of the human's direct and invisible communion with their love for music and nature. Inspiration to me comes from everything I see, feel and experience. My work is a reflection of my thoughts and nostalgic memories, significantly visualised through me on the canvass. My process of painting is a constant state of renewal and experimentation and my intuitive trust in this process brings out unforeseen results. The depiction of cow and village huts are a rendition of beatific instances in my paintings from my childhood days spent in a village. Often these instances are combined with human figures bearing a seraphic smile demonstrating their heartfelt association with animals or music. The play of colors in my artwork and the my effort to express meaning and spiritual experience rather than physical reality, brings an unfeigned delight to the viewers. My works also tend to focus on mythology and the evolution of man and his material wealth.
