Artist Statement

My effort always has been to reach the depths of human heart through paintings  to reach the feelings and expressions of a common man  to fathom the sorrows and the pain, the pangs of love and compassion  to depict all those qualities which are bestowed by the nature. Everyone has same outbreak of emotions and the feelings of sorrow and love are identical to everyone. I have tried to bring all these strokes and shades on canvas and other surfaces through imagery of man and woman. I wish to submerge into this ethereal world of colorful creation and take my viewers along for the same experience. The vision of my painting to re-introduce the real style and traditional style in the modernization is because real art is going to dissolve in the modern art. I believe in making that painting which is no need of description. I am inspired by the Indian Artists S.M. Pandit and Raja Ravi Verma because I like their real style of expression. I have also been impressed by the European realism artists. I got my first recognition in 1982 when I started micro-paintings in India. I write the full Gayatri Mantra on rice single grain, Sita Ram Laxman and hanuman picture on half ground nut grain, 30 elephant on rice single grain, whole world map on one pearl, Jhansi fort on single rice grain and many more. Experience I have been working in my studio since 1970 and have made around 3000 portraits and paintings so far. Currently, I am founder of Suryanshi Arts, and associates Art Club and Pulind Kala Deergaha which are working towards the promotion of the art and artist. In addition to these, I am also actively associated with a number of self-help and social organizations. Its my pleasure Student of fine art are also doing doctorate and M. Phil on my paintings.
