Music evokes the body to respond to a rhythm and become an embodiment of exuberance, expression and movement. My idea of painting is that it is a performance with music that creates a whole new language of abstract harmony, as a means of expressing music in visual form. The inspiration of Indian performance and various music selections inspire a language of expression, rhythm, and abstract figures which form pattern on my canvases.
My paintings welcome the viewer to wander through their spaces and along their paths with a sense of belonging, sharing in the belief that everything has a life of its own; a life that is continually being transformed and passed on from one place to another. In the small universe created on canvas or in my drawings, I reflect an infinite appreciation of everyday life, of being.
The idea is to interpret the content of the music and express it via visual images; to create an environment of joy and passion conveying a feeling of dance and festivity while using the psyche’s imagination.
