Artist Statement:
Creating images of objects as
they appear in nature is an
instinct that lies deep in the
human psyche. But it is the
artist who overcomes the
imperfections and transience
of nature, and delivers a
'golden' world as compared to
nature's 'brazen'. The artist
in his works , thus expresses
a reality that is closer to
truth than , perhaps , the
real world. It is in this
sense that , in his Poetics,
Aristotle states that art (or
in his words , poetry) is more
philosophical than history ,
as the latter depicts events
and objects as they are,
whereas the former, as they
ought to be.To me , what is
more important than all this
is the sheer pleasure of being
able to create forms and
images that depict a special
feeling, a thought , a mood,
or simply a flight of fancy. I
paint because I love to . My
favourite medium is
watercolours , but I also use
crayons for my creations ; and
occasionally a combination of
the two....
