This week I would like to present to you another of my works on beer coasters. This is done with ink and water colour on paper (9.5 x 9.5 cm). I love doing these works, the results are immediate and for all to see.
Much light!

Continuing with my Concrete Art Series on beer coasters (Ink on paper 9.5 x 9.5 cm): This work is devoid of any colour and thrives on black and white contrasts, variation in lines and the juxtaposition of geometric shapes...
​Much light!

This week (beginning with the 15th of January) many of my Tamil friends and I will commemorate the begin of the Sun's northern bound journey: Pongal is celebrated to acknowledge and to be grateful for the abundance and growth that one has experienced; the sun is worshipped for the energy that all life forms derive from it.
Today I present to you another small work on paper (Ink and colour pencil on paper 9.5 x 9.5 cm) with a prayer for growth and abundance for all.
​Much light!
Happy Pongal!

Welcoming the New Year

From my Concrete Art Series on Beer Coasters (9.5 x 9.5 cm)
Happy New Year 2019!
May it be a pleasing one, with strokes of clarity, interesting and a centred one: Centred in good health, abundance, happiness and joy.
As I write this post (on my father's birthday) I think of our elders, loved ones and friends who have passed on; I think of their love and the joy they gave us. Encompassed in this warm feeling, I wish each one of you much happiness and success.
​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.
