Works on Canvas

My painterly methodology improvises with huge pools of colour on the canvas. I like to work with massive pools of pigments, looking minutely at the movement and flow once the pool is formed on the canvas, the natural center of gravity it flows to, and the nature of the pigments mixed. The work explores concept of containment, release, flow like the tides, tears and dams. I often use pebbles and various gemological stones that I collect on my treks to places in the mountains that I find powerful, or those that draw me in. It's a spiritual quest merging with an intellectual journey. In nature, movements are gentle and slow, things take their time and yield natural results. My work, following the same ethos, similarly goes through its own mindful process and time to take shape and form. Through this process I try and connect with what is not visible, the energies, constantly finding the fragile balance in the existing state of things.

The work also shares agency with the weather conditions, where certain temperatures, humidity and UV levels allow the work to form and others do not. Hence my entire work makes me think of how closely linked our day-to-day life and in my case art practice is with the weather conditions. Spending so much time daily observing how climate effects my work has naturally led me to make some works where the concern is climate change and global warming.
