(Un)homely Dreams Of Today

“My work is majorly based on my emotions, research and observations. As an art student I want to document the time I live in through my paintings. Being an avid observer I want to paint my poetry that proves a testimony to my current time.

I consider myself as a very young artist and hence don’t adhere to a particular style or way of working, rather I have a very explorative and experimental approach when it comes to painting. I work through various techniques that suit my portrait the best. I consider myself as being in an explorative process and I definitely enjoy the journey more than the destination.

Being a part of an Institution as such I completely acknowledge the historic background it brings along, my work is driven and motivated to keep up with that legacy that follows. When approaching a painting I often have a constant quest for what I can bring new to the table. Being a student I focus more upon my research and education as it is the foundation of what all I try to build upon.

Through my work I try to reflect my surroundings, my generation, daily mundane happenings. I try not to restrict myself too much on the fundamentals, though I rely heavily on them I try to have a painterly approach while brushing. My goal is to capture the subtle underlying aspects of the figure which are not randomly seen, which can only be seen if one stares at a person or an object for a long time. My attempt is to bring those subtle emotions, tones, halftones, features, gestures and actions on the surface for everyone to witness.”
