  • Biography
    Caress the detail, the divine detail My art is continuously inspired by the beauty of detail surrounding us. We consume our world as an overload of photographic imagery, yet hardly pause to appreciate the divine within the commonplace. Painting in the highly detailed style of Photorealism affords me the opportunity to explore the intricate relationships between light, shade, color, tone and space. In a world of fleeting imageries, it allows me the luxury of pausing to admire, to reflect and to undertake a journey into the infinitesimal. For my paintings, I prefer the richness of oils; while in my drawings I gravitate to the stark beauty that graphite and charcoal can access – especially in human faces. In my self-taught journey of artistic exploration, I am naturally drawn to the art and techniques of the Old Flemish Masters. My oil paintings are built using multiple layers of monochromatic under-painting as the foundation for super-thin glazed color layers on top. Building a painting over a minimum of seven such detailed layers is a contemplative immersion that can consume anywhere upwards of 200 work hours. Each oil painting is thus a labor of love and adoration. In today's digital virtual world, mine is a world of hand-created slow art - each piece a contemporary tribute to the knowledge passed down by the masters. The focus of my work in oils is still life. To me, each object in my still life paintings represents the human world behind that object - from the hand that made it, to the one that owned it, to the cultural associations, personal memories and emotions attached to its use. My still life speak the hidden language of human artifacts. My current work combines the artistic traditions of the Flemish Masters with the cultural traditions of my country India, in an interpretation that is classical yet contemporary. Timeless and enduring. I seek to present my work to a larger audience through artfinder
