ARTIST STATEMENT
Art is my patience. I interpret the life of genre people in my paintings, their love, anger, struggle for life, dreams, suffering & all happenings of life. I also paint autobiographical paintings. The main medium which I love is oil on canvas because it is durable & also can try different texture in this medium. I also love to do pencil, charcoal, sangina, drawings on paper. I have developed my own style, which took several years of practice & experience. When I see my art I feel that life is so beautiful, complicated & deep because my painting are the mirror of life. I depict the life as what I feel, what I see & every painting shows different aspect of life. When people see my art they feel it deeply & says it is true. Since 1986 after the Post Graduation from the prestigious Academy of Arts, Repin Institute of paintings, Sculpture,& Architecture Saint Petersburg, Russia I do paintings on different topics & series like Mother & Child, War & Peace, Shringar, Desire, Prakriti, No to Global Terrorism etc.
