‘Art for me is creating something through my memory, my experiences, my inner being, and my state of being. It’s the perception of the unknown sometimes, surprisingly, I don’t even know what comes out as my art. The creative process of making something is a beautiful process that I cherish the most. It’s a way to search my soul where it is coupled with love, peace, harmony, humanity, and happiness. The mind, heart, hands, and eyes work in a rhythmic way, and the deeper realms of human existence guide me further during the process of making the art work.
Art and human values bring a shift in Consciousness and help in growing as a mentally strong individual by keeping own unique self. Own expressions of creativity from the subconscious help in becoming a more confident, systematic, rhythmic, harmonious, happy, pleasant, oriented, and holistic person. All these attributes are what each one wants to have, and then give back something productive and creative to the world. It’s about how we synchronize the inner world with the outer world. What lies within me is reflected in art in terms of subject, line,s and colours. How harmonious it is, reflects our inner harmony, and what we want to give to society at large.
I would like to take my art journey forward through research on various Indian culture tribes and folk art, and bring it back to the modern world, where we are getting influenced by things that are temporary and short-lived. Art stays for ages, and through art we come to know our rich culture. The objective of creativity in anybody needs to be directed in creating harmony and peace within and in the society at large, as these are the intrinsic feelings of the soul. Art should be the expression of joy, bliss, love, and peace for the soul of the person who creates and for the soul of the onlooker who admires it. Pleasant, traditional, innovative simple art is the need of today’s chaotic world.’
