Expression of my responsiveness to complex human behavior and raw desires has always been a challenging undertaking. Though it all starts with a challenge, but soon it becomes a pleasurable journey on the road of ecstasy. Every moment the painting draws closer to its end it sends off a signal to explore yet another possible point of culmination. Ultimately I find myself completely fulfilled, replete with the goodness of earnest expression – a rewarding outcome of delightful and adventurous knife work on canvas!  Serious painting is an activity that engages the soul with the spiritual configuration of life. Women, birds and flowers I believe, are all elements of life that bear semblance in characteristic and beauty which is hard to ignore. Given their unmistakable inspiration, I continued to explore possibilities of arrangement of these elements on canvas. 

I interweave seductive intimacies within my subjects, thus, radiating a mysterious temptation and lure. A gradual absorption of my painting engages the viewer’s intellect almost involuntarily and initiates a subtle stimulus that momentarily transports the viewer to another time and dimension. It is a brief but reminiscent meeting with my world of loveable characters that rather relate to the viewers own profile.
