Rhododendrons...

26/5/2015

... although a little late here in Berlin, the rhododendrons are now in full bloom. A feast for the eyes, literally, in all possible colours. A reminder that after long and possibly also dark winters, its time to enjoy a bright cheerful spring and summer. But beware... rhododendrons are a symbol for caution...because the plants themselves contain toxins harmful to humans and animals.

Our purpose is to be happy everyday...

I saw this dead embryo on a walk and was sad that it did not even have chance to live. It brought home to me the fact that we are supposed to be happy everyday, to see happiness in our daily lives and highlight the happy moments even on bleak dark days... because despite everything we are still alive.

Sunny and warm days ahead...

I never understood this European preoccupation with weather till I started to live here. In Madras (now Chennai) where I come from, we were happy when it rained and when we escaped unscathed from the wet fury of the monsoons. Getting our feet wet when we ventured out was no big deal. Here in Berlin, every sunny day is to be celebrated, because the weather plays truant and long gray winters weigh down the soul. Here is to happy sunny and warm days ahead for all us. For those in Chennai, here is wishing you a respite from the blasting heat. May you have the rain gods smiling down at you.

    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.
