Art a form of expression

Hailing from Oakville Toronto with deep Indian roots, born and  brought up  in Mumbai, as an investment banker by profession driven by passion  it was  always a thrill to express ones instinct through art .

As a child I was introduced to a  book life beautiful   written by MP pandit had a great impression on my belief system Shri MP pandit was personal secretary to the Mother (Mirra Alfassa),as per Mother Flowers speak to us when we know how to listen to them ,it is a subtle and fragrant langauge a spontaneous movement a very special vibration if one feels it one receives an impression which may be translated into feelings .

I dedicate my  painting with a   bouquet  of flowers at mother’s feet seeking her blessings .

As an artist I had no such professional training though had an eye on detailing with a lot of emphasis  on texture and shade .

As a child I had a brief opportunity  to glimpse through the greats of Mario Miranda and  it was fun that is where I was introduced to cartoons,it was then thrilling to understand the great artists work whom I refer to as my guru.

As of now I aspire to display art depicting compassion ,expressing more on grace and love my style of painting has always been close to mother nature   in various forms of art ,one is the renowned indian art of warli painting ,is of tribal art mostly created by the tribal people from north sahyadri range of Maharashtra walls  are covered and painted through  done during marriage ceremonies,  harvest, festivities ,the art form depicts basic geometric shapes,circle triangle and square painted on walls coated with brick red as the background.

The circle represents the sun and the moon ,the triangle depicts  mountains   ,the  paintings are  done inside  walls of village dwellings normally  to reflect happiness .

Recently I ran a campaign on art  made easy “Even a child could draw that”

Ancient Chinese artists who used tea in their art works and coffee as a medium  inspired by David schomer , tried to depict coffee painting on  lord Ganesha and lord Krishna .

As history goes Kerala mural art work can be traced back to the ancient temple & churches and places around Kerala  in India ,dating back between 9th to  12th century C.E. depicting Hindu mythology in Kerala.

Lord Krishna shreenathji pichwai(pichvai) is a style of painting that originated 400-years ago in the town of Nathdwara udaipur Rajasthan depicting tales from Lord krishna’s life an attempt made by me to capture shreenathji’s grace.

A touch on scenario painting inspired on my official   trip to London.

A leisure trip  to Istanbul Turkey concluded in sketching out Galata Tower built by Byzantine emperor justinianos 507-508AD as per Romans belief a man and woman who  go to Galata tower together for the first time will definitely get married.

My trip concluded with a ride in Cappadocia giving a view of the unique landscape and a  perfect weather conditions.

In Toranto down town on my local stride gave me an opportunity to have  a close look near the spot of little Italy a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh considered as the greatest Dutch painter renowned for his exceptional feel for bold ,harmonious color effects and infallible instinct for choosing simple but memorable  compositions ,never was he recognised during his life span and he regretted and a note “I feel a failure thats it as far as I’m concerned -I feel that this is the destiny I accept that will never change”.
