Dreams tumble from
Unknown heights
into a dark pit devoured by
the hunger for light.
A vast and
ultimate flux of shadows.
Adrift a sea of hidden fire,
rises with a smoky thread
to reach the hearts
of early desires
My art is my search for the moments beyond the ones of self knowledge.
It is the rhythmic fantasy which is so very elusive.
A restless streak which looks for its own fulfillment.
A stillness that moves within.
An intense search for my origin and ultimate identity.
The medium used is oil pastels on paper.
Serene surroundings of my birth place in India ‘Nainital’ a hill station have been a source of inspiration to me always. Strangely enough the beauty of Canada reminds me of my birth place a lot. Specifically the immenseness of the sky, the glory of the setting sun th its ever-changing colors and the unlimited wide expanse of the earth stills my nature within.
