Inspiration















Music makes pictures and often tells stories
All of it is magic and all of it is true
And all of the pictures and all of the stories
All of the magic, the music is you
All of the magic, the music is you...


John Denver

Harmony




Inspired by the Pete Seeger Song 'Little Boxes...' this mix media work on teak wood represents the enigma of life. The puzzles we go through everyday...and of course the harmony in the randomness of this universe.
Harmony 1 is sold in an exhibition organised by Art Laureate in New Delhi (April, 2008)

Lifescape


Lifescape 2, acrylic on paper (40 cm x 50 cm)


Lifescape, mix media on paper

Lifescape - However cramp our cities are...life goes on......spreads all over.
And life finds out its own ways to escape - stairs to heaven or windows to the outer world.

Mys-Tree

Mys-Tree 6, transparent pencil color on handmade paper (23 cm x 18 cm)

Mys-Tree 5, acrylic on paper ( 40 cm x 50 cm)

I believe, my concern for global warming has somewhat intrigued me to do this.
My sub-conscious possibly believes at this crucial frame in time, only trees can help us to save the earth.





Mys-Tree 4, acrylic on paper ( 40 cm x 50 cm)






Mys-Tree 1,2,3, transparent pencil color on handmade paper (30 cm x 40 cm approx)

'Mys-Tree'...... trees you've never seen (or possibly have seen only in your dreams).

'A very supernatural feel' - that's what you get when you see these trees and the feeling would stay in your mind for a long time.

A series of mix media paintings inspired by the 'Kalpataru' (wish-tree) of heaven as described in the Hindu scripts.
