"A village beauty" - Color Ball pens on Primed Canvas, size - 12 x 15 inches
(30 x 38 cms)
The calmness in the atmosphere is what comes to mind at first glance.
The doors, windows, wall colors, bricks, roof tiles, wooden logs etc. kept on
the
plastic sheet on the roof, cloth hanging on a rope, the electric wires, and the
tiny branch of a shrub against the dark brown tree trunk make such a wonderful
composition.
"Contemplation" - Color Ball pens on Primed Canvas, size - 12 x 16 inches (30
x 40 cms). A deliberately casual portrait, speaking volumes. The sobriety of
her response to another eye is flaunty with unprecedented elegance. This blush
casts a magical spell.
"Invocation" - Color Ball pens on Primed Hardboard, size - 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cms) An outcome of the visualization of the state of mind of the artist, when he was asking the divine power of the universe to help him realize his potential. We can feel the reverberations of this speaking picture through the rendering of the rock formations and the cloudy sky.
"Morning in my village" - Color Ball pens on Primed Hardboard, size - 18 x 24 inches (45 x 60 cms) When one sees a single object that stands for a thousand meanings, one only glares and gasps. The chilly backdrop against the lush green front makes dew-drops form on one's skin. The style of the woods is such that the white fog empowers the viewer to have the depth of the jungle to his own imagination.
"My village house" - Color Ballpens on Primed Canvas, size - 18 x 18 inches (45 x 45 cms) The simplicity of the most common village scene could even be put forth with such an exquisite composition that is aristocratically modest in appearance is only the sign of an artist's overwhelming strength in visualizing what is beyond the imagination of a layman's eye. The vivid curtain of the woods in the background and the purple sky behind them against the humble foreground is a treat to the eye.
"Red leaf" - Color Ballpens on Primed Canvas, size - 18 x 18 inches (45 x 45 cms) A true work of art never speaking any less of the mastery of the artist, both technical and tactical. Mist and haze of violet rendered along the lines of nature's most apt symbol, with tints of minute red, green and grey, proclaim the ardent style of the artist. In the entirety of the composition, the two stones, the red leaf and the white and green-yellow leaves portray the phenomenon of discrete individualism in celebration of the harmonic oneness.
"The Cloudscape" – Color Ball pens on Primed Canvas, size - 18 x 24 inches (45 x 60 cms) Even the sky can be an object of desire with such a beautiful formation of clouds. The whole of the ground in its own way seems to be happily acknowledging the ever changing mood of the clouds.
"The Stone house" – Color Ball pens on Primed Canvas, size - 24 x 24 inches (60 x 60 cms) Someone’s dream home. The lush green lawn against the beauty of the age old stones and the seasoned wooden door is rendered in such a way that it gives us a feeling of being there. The sunlight falling on the stones and the wooden log in front are a treat to the eye.
