Artist Statement Why do we paint... to appreciate the beauty? I paint to know what I am.
Well! Writing a bio... For an artist is so important that it opens door into the painting from painter's view. Sometimes, viewer's point of view is much more interesting. Anyway, painting is the perspective which reveals unnoticed corners of our heart and opens up unknown pathways in our thought process. Though it is just a peek through into what reality is, it is a possibility that connects us all, making us realise - we all are one and same.

The strange experience, we all know that people die, yes, they do. But what I did not know was... I used to imagine, if my mother dies; I also die along with her. But when that did not really happen, it was an eye-opening situation. Sorry, I don’t know how to express it. In many ways, it brought me closer to life opening up new perspectives. Slowly, my connection with the nature and education got deeper, but you know, the results did not resonate with me.

Expectations of family members and friends did not go down in fact, they rose up even higher. Anyhow, I have completed bachelors of technology in electronics and communication engineering and it is still hollow inside as it did not quench my thirst to understand how this world works, questions always arise. Since, graduation people around me expect me to work, but I refuse to make money out of it and chose my path as research... it may take 10 years more. So the obvious choice, the stuff that is with me all the time is my art. And that is the one which I can count on to make money. Yes, it is difficult to stand, yet it is so satisfying and fulfilling inside.

Painting and music are great ways to contribute as they express the self much more purely and naturally. So, I thank for this opportunity.
