My straight singular objective is to bring out in the perceptive field the hidden and imperceptive dilemmas surging in the darkness of our inner self. As I engross myself in my work my imagination keeps on opening up new vistas, new pathways and thus the bounds of imagination keep on widening farther and farther.
What fascinates me the most are the visages, gestures and forms of the people unflinchingly fighting and struggling against all odds of life. Their furrowed faces , their pains , strifes and sufferings force me to paint I draw immense source of inspiration from such people as would never surrender themselves before their hardships. The faces I work are simple, serene, graceful, thoughtful, pain- ridden but they are not godly, unworldly or heavenly instead they represent the expressions of the natural sensibilities of human life.
In order to continue in my efforts , to keep burning the desire to do something unique and extraordinary and to explore new forms and ways to express myself. As a Painter-Printmaker-Philosopher and even a woman artist, I have kept kindling the flame of my creativity and to continue in my creative endeavours.
