Each of these paintings stems from self-expression, emotions, and memories, making them deeply personal. I want to leave them open to interpretation, allowing viewers to develop their own narratives, however the text below is brief insight of my though process.
DETAILS
Untitled 1
Size: 36x48 inches
Materials: Acrylic and Oil Pastels on canvas.
The painting symbolizes the contrast between a sheltered existence and the raw chaos of the outside world. It envisions how my lazy white house cat—accustomed to comfort—would unravel if exposed to reality beyond the safe walls of home. The white cloth serve as a mask, representing his former self, a fragile illusion of calm that would shatter as he descends into madness.
Mountains
Size: 36x48 inches
Materials: Acrylic, Acrylic mixed with Sand and Oil Pastels on canvas.
This piece was inspired by my motorbiking trip through northern India, where I was captivated by the grandeur of the mountains. Each one stood out with its own distinct colors, sizes, and textures, creating a breathtaking and ever-changing landscape. I wanted to capture that uniqueness in my work. The illustration is drawn from a monastery I visited, a place that left a lasting impression on me.
Monochrome
Size: 36x48 inches
Materials: Acrylic on canvas.
This piece was an experiment in composition, exploring the interplay of layers, highlights, and contrast to achieve a striking monochromatic effect. It was a study in depth and balance, using subtle variations to create visual impact.
Heart 1
Size:
Materials: Acrylic on canvas.
The main challenge of this piece was its large scale. It explores the interplay of paint thickness and intensity, allowing light to pass through certain areas of the canvas while remaining blocked in others. This technique creates a dynamic effect, enhancing depth and contrast within the composition.
Heart 2
Size:
Materials: Acrylic on canvas.
It is a a twin of the painting above, following a similar idea.
Knifes
Size: 36x48 inches
Materials: Acrylic on canvas.
For one of the kinfes in this painting, the canvas fabric is intentionally cut to let light pass through, transforming the piece as it interacts with its surroundings. This effect brings the painting to life at night, adding an ever-changing dimension to its appearance.
