Allowing ourselves to be touched

9/10/2016

Recent events in my family have led me to consider whether and the extent to which I allow myself to be touched by life. By this I mean: Do I rejoice in the small things that present themselves in my life on a daily basis? Sadhguru in his talk says it need not necessarily be the human touch.
It is really the small things that matter: that sunrise, that soft breeze, that Ice Cream we enjoy (with our loved ones) or that time spend with each other (catching up on each other's lives); that phone call that makes our day, the list is endless.
So before we spend our lives waiting for that dream house / partner / job / bank balance, let us make ourselves aware of the million other things for which we could be grateful and thankful for.
​Much light!

    I am an artist. I live and work in Berlin.
    I started to paint colour fields (very much inspired by Mark Rothko and other American Abstract Expressionists) and now have evolved into an admirer of the Bauhaus Movement. I am still  a seeker: minimalist concrete art finds resonance in me, while the rich colours and traditional art forms of my home country that flow in me and breathe in me, also find expression in my work.
    My work, I believe is a synthesis of all these influences and seeming contradictions. I am now knocking a dent into concrete art, non objectively so to speak! I work serially and can endlessly look for emerging patterns in my work.
    This has been a wonderful journey, and as they say: the path is the destination.
    ​In my blog posts, I am letting you have a peek over my shoulder, into my sketch books and small works, which will someday flow into my big canvases and other works; works that I will actually display or exhibit (or may be not).
    My blog posts are more about my process and what motivates me to paint and create.
