MY WORK.

"My paintings are constructed on a similar concept as a Mandala or Yantra which contain symbols, shapes figures and colour energy combined and united. Each picture has its own ‘colour life’. A unique colour scheme is created with care from various hues, tints and full colour with the corresponding colour frequencies, and wavelengths taken into consideration for the birth and life of the picture, which generates with subtle energy radiating towards the viewer taking them towards a doorway to meditation and contemplation, transporting the viewer on a spiritual journey in their unconscious mind

Each picture has its own painted frame that keeps in tune with the colour scheme and acts as a marginal line round the painting maintaining its energy force."

How do I start a painting ?

"My figurative work is inspired by the Classics and religious narratives and my abstract work is inspired by my love for nature and the esoteric arts. From the tallest trees, and the highest mountains to the smallest of insects and pebbles Gods, creation is seen and mirrored in the macrocosm and the microcosm ----Above and Below.

To begin I take photographs of the objects of nature---trees, twigs,roots, rocks, stones, bark, fungi etc. Through contemplation with a photograph before me my painting then unfolds .  I see shapes, symbols and my picture takes form . The various colours with their intensity add another dimension of energy to the unfolding of the picture.

From a narrative to painting---transformation

From the natural object to photograph to painting ----transformation

What I visualize in one of my paintings is a revelation just for me, and to another person the same picture is viewed in a different concept altogether.  We all experience our own journeys according to our spiritual, mental and physical needs-----Mind, Body and Spirit."
