‘Anguish to Ecstasy’ – My Journey as a Painter
It is often said that energy is constant, merely changing its form over time. This analogy perfectly encapsulates my journey as a painter. Over the years, my paintings have evolved in shape and style, yet the inner energy that drives my creativity has remained unwavering. As an artist, I am fueled by an insatiable and indestructible energy of creativity, pushing me to explore uncharted frontiers of artistic expression. This relentless pursuit is both my greatest challenge and my deepest passion.
Throughout my artistic journey, I have experienced profound ANGUISH in the struggle to translate my innermost feelings onto the canvas. This struggle, however, culminates in moments of pure ECSTASY when my emotions finally take tangible form through the colors of my imagination.
Lust for Love
I have always sought to walk paths less trodden, and this quest led to the creation of my renowned ASHWA CHITRAMALA (the horse series) a few years ago. This series received widespread acclaim and admiration, marking a significant milestone in my career. After dedicating countless hours to this endeavor, I have reimagined my swift horses, infusing them with a newfound muscularity and introducing the mighty Bull to my artistic repertoire.
My earlier works were characterized by sheer anguish and fierce passion, vividly expressed through bold colors and fearless brush strokes. This raw passion has since transformed into a lustful love, a celebration of life and love's boundless energy. My latest series, ‘Lust for Love,’ captures the spirit of carefree creatures of speed, boldly crossing the boundaries of the unknown future with unwavering faith in love.
In this new collection, I have painted horse couples immersed in passionate love, embodying the heart of an evergreen romantic. The bright, gleaming colors and gentle yet confident brush strokes echo the spirit of 'carpe diem' – seize the day. These horses symbolize humanity's undaunted quest for the profound emotion of love.
Additionally, the introduction of the bull, a symbol of strength and virility, adds a new dimension to my portfolio. These mighty, confident bulls charge towards their dreams and desires, reflecting my own journey towards artistic excellence. This series represents the deepest recesses of my heart, showcasing an honest and enduring journey towards creative mastery.
