Colours bring a blank canvas to life just like a smile lights up a face. I play with colours and do not shy away from filling my entire painting with offbeat shades. I usually use up every inch of my canvas, yet there is a clearly established concept of singularity in my work. I am a sensitive person who sees beauty everywhere and find inspiration in all living beings along with the abundantly diverse environment that surrounds us all. As a child, I used to watch the white clouds against blue skies turn into gray clouds against dark skies. The gloomy sky would then break open and my eyes used to shine with fascination while I watched beads of water droplets fall on to the blades of green grass and then drop slowly to the ground, thereby merging with the beautiful rich brown tones of the earth. The smell of fresh mud after the first rain of the season used to transport me into a trance like state and I would sit for hours together, inspired and fascinated to paint.
