This is a sketch I started in November this year and completed about three weeks later. At the time of writing this post, Chennai my home city in India, is being threatened by a cyclonic storm, and my thoughts wander back to this time last year when Chennai was staggering back to normalcy after being lashed by the mother of all storms since a 100 years.
None of us is invincible, none of us is indispensible! So the precious moments we spend together must count in every way. Let us make each moment meaningful, because we are blessed with life every moment. Let us count our blessings and be happy that we have that someone in our lives. Even if it is not that obvious, each of has the all encompassing Source in us, that goes to make each of us, and connects us in a way that we are unable to fathom at this moment.
As I sign off for this year, I would like to wish each one of us a Season of rejuvenation and being reborn. Welcome 2017 with gratitude for all that we had in 2016. Gratitude begets more, so let us be sure to be thankful for our blessings.
​Much light! See you in 2017!

    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.
