“Vignettes (Ocean of Time)”, a larger than life representation that awes one by its magnanimity, captures the cultural context evolving the black contours into a distinct optical narrative. Each format is crafted with resonant contours, as one traverses through this work, yielding varied patterns, configurations, highlights, and unexpected quasi-human forms. “Drawing for me is more than intuitive, it is a deep-rooted quest where my figures of humans as well as animals are not just literal figures, but they are imbued with an essence of being or meaning.”
