My journey to the art world has been far from straightforward. Before entering the political realm, I sought to understand the complexities of the human experience. I began as a photojournalist and then transitioned to becoming an investigative journalist, dedicating fifteen years to this profession. Alongside my journalistic pursuits, I nurtured my passion for music and honed my skills in classical vocal and instrumental forms. With a strong affinity for Left Philosophy, I actively engaged in left-wing politics. Somnath Hore's words always resonated with me, "The creators, be it a writer, a poet or a painter, should become a Marxist for a few days". I believe that embracing Marxist principles can enhance one's understanding and vision.
My transition to the art world was a direct leap from the world of newspapers. As an artist, I draw inspiration from world literature, poetry and the struggles of human society. My artistic creations aim to dismantle religious and unscientific myths, much like the "Inversions of Kabir." Through my paintings, I offer women the space to express themselves freely, while also reflecting traditional myths through the symbol of the Moon, representing the plight of the oppressed.
Despite having a profound understanding of abstract art, my heart lies in figure-oriented paintings. Art for me, knows no geographical boundaries; it is a universal concept. The interconnectedness of power and public, war and treaties, hunger and thirst and the hypocrisy of religion transcends borders and it is the perspective that varies. Everywhere, there exists a merchant exploiting these elements.
