offer is an overall experience, audience becomes more open to less conventional and more challenging visuals. They become part of the process and through the process grow to understand the image, to witness its development and connect to it. As long as I live I will seek out feedback with regard to my work, by connecting with audiences. Throughout my artistic career I have believed in self actions and I still think that an artist must do all he can to share his work with the public and in a variety of different ways. Artists should continue to push their boundaries of self- expression, as by not moving forward creatively you engender a sense of frustration and disappointment that can have nothing to do with the quality of your work. Thanks a lot for your time and for sharing your thoughts, Ram. Finally, would you like to tell us readers something about your future projects? How do you see your work evolving?
This year the third international symposium of Draw to Perform will take place in London and we have already booked another international event at Fabrica, Brighton for 2017. Workshops are being planned in Japan and other events are in the pipeline for New York, Warsaw, Berlin and more. On a personal level, I am working on my next solo show with a new series of metalpoint drawings and will continue developing the connection between drawing and performance in general and between 2D and 3D pieces of work.
