Biography | |
I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my father, mother and two brothers. Though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie.
I always observed those hills, valleys, forests, woods and those remarkable sunrises & sunsets. With time it became part of core interest for me. Hence nature is the central theme underlying my work.
I am currently running my business in service industry.
I had sold few of my works individually, with a painting âTHAT BURNING EVENINGâ sold in UK. Further one of other work âTHE CONCRETEâ has been selected for 9th Indian art exhibition in Jakarta in Indonesia.
I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me.
The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance.
I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, âwhere is the realism of yesterday?â One should not forget the way our forefathers use to tap it on their canvas.
Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle?
John Cage very well said, âWe need not destroy the past. It has gone.â |

In a general sense, refers to objective representation. More specifically, a nineteenth century movement, especially in France, that rejected idealized academic styles in favor of everyday subjects. Daumier, Millet, and Courbet were realists. |
