My work is based on the psychophysical perception of color. I think that is due to my deep roots in Indian culture. Indian culture is specifically known to use bright and vibrant colors to express emotions and convey deep, enriching history from which it comes. I like to use colors that stimulate the human retina and evoke an emotional response from the viewer.
A lot of my work uses reds, as red represents fire, warmth and comfort. I also like to pair off my reds with blues, as blue, being opposite of red, represents tranquility and peace. Yellow is the most optimistic color that I use, in its unique ability to provide the viewer with an optimistic outlook towards life. All these colors are pulled together by the authority and power of black. These colors give an insight towards my own life and my own feelings.
‘Go With The Flow’ is how my paintings usually start, then evolve into compositions in which color is the primary subject. Working on Silk, as the medium of choice. helps me to do just that. To me, art is an amalgamation of my personal feelings, the subject or colors that inspire me and my materials and techniques. Serenity and simplicity is what I strive for.
