My fondness for the quadruped creature-the magnificent bull clearly comes across to the viewers through all the twenty series on canvases dedicated to it. During my childhood days, I attended a festival in my native land which appreciates the beauty of the bull and since then I have been intrigued by its beauty. I have incorporated hints of religious connotations relating to the bull in my work as I strongly believe; if cow is considered as a nurturing mother according to the Hindu tradition, then the bull must have a place in the religious context too.
