The spiritual realm that surrounds the multitude of humanity is indeed my source of inspiration. Most importantly, my unwavering belief is that each individual is imbued with a wide diversity and, collectively, I am very attracted to his restless and hard-working attitude. Sometimes people are careless and depressed in spirit, and other times they can be charmed and enlightened. At this moment, all those voices, emotions, joys, and sadnesses are for me the driving force and the prologue of my work. I have been working hard with my brush and pigments for the last twenty-five years or more to express the various human moods. I don't know what my next painting will be, but the canvas guides me and I follow it. The series of my recent paintings titled Rhythm and Melodies is a saga of momentum in which the events depicted inspire others. Love, affection, innocence, and celebration are at the root of my sonata. A few years ago, when I embarked on the idea of working on the subject of my first painting titled Musicians, I found myself completely charged and infused with energy. The dhol, which is supposed to be the most religious drum in India, gave me strength, and a flute, a musical instrument, crept into my subconscious mind. All of this has helped me create the desired environment for my subjects with the best expression and effect required. Finally, I do not believe that a message can be imposed on my work at all costs. The art itself should be your final message.
