Artist’s Voice

I always paint in impressionistic and imaginative ways. I feel a moment or visualize some idea and paint it so that, others can also feel the same. Art for me is a pure form of emotion. I personally believe, that whatever you feel, the mood and atmosphere, the inner mind starts developing that strongly into a painting. If you can feel the subject it becomes easier to paint. I don’t levy any rules and regulations for my artworks. It happens many times when I just follow my instinct, an impulse that arouses me to paint. The painting captures my flowing life energy through all those strokes and colors. It’s like a meditation.

For me, drawing is the mother of painting. Many experts can guide how and where to start a painting, but it’s you who decides where to finish it. No one can teach you the finishing touch. It only depends on the artist’s inner voice.

Whatever the situation has come and gone, neither painting has ever left me nor have I left art. My art expresses me till day.
