Passage of time and life...

Passage of time and life!

... as demonstrated here. 

I found these stones on a quiet secluded beach in Sicily in Marina di Ragusa. They had holes in them and I could shake out the sand inside them as with a Salt or Pepper Shaker. Its amazing how over time the elements worked on these stones, seemingly nonperishable and sturdy, and made them so porous. I had to think of the story of the man with the coat and the sun and the wind competing to get him to take off the coat. The sun with its warmth won of course! I could see the passage of time and Life in action here!

... dominates every moment of our lives now.
People on the move and in waiting rooms browsing without a pause, as if they would have missed out on something if they weren't looking into their phones or smart devices all the time!

Have realised that life is only as beautiful as one wants it to be. So give it your best shot!

... despite all the negativity around us.
We must find a way of looking at events that make us feel sad or helpless in a more proactive manner. Of late there have been so many events that are beyond comprehension in their utter ruthlessness and senselessness. Events that make us feel so sad and so quietly angry. We have to be that beacon of light and hope. The only way for me to do that is to remain centered and grounded despite everything that goes on around me. This doesn't mean I am not sad or helpless or angry or whatever else emotion I may feel: it just means that I do what I have to do despite feeling the way I feel. At the end of it all, life is beautiful.

    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.
