(Artist statement)
My first inspiration always remains nature. I mostly do oil painting and I love painting nature.
I always have new ideas of clearing the vision of one to see my life through painting.
I used to draw things as I see them in real life but that time I did not realize this beautiful skill of me to play using
fingers with colors in nature and those in my imaginations. I always feel creative energy flowing out,
urging me to express myself using my fingers instead of using brushes, which is not so common.
Coral Reefs are my great inspiration, having deep interest in coral habitats at the ocean floor.Colors are going to give a hope of life;
let’s fight the darkness of the period with colors.
