“Emerging from the twilight borders between waking and dreaming, my paintings produce a sublime yet melodramatic atmosphere, where the real and unreal fuse together in a fluid harmony. From a finer perspective I find that my compositions depict profound influence of primitive tribal art as well as European Surrealism, the individual elements evolving from the contemporary Indian context to pristine elementary art, somewhat reconstructed in a unique way from the subconscious level of my mind”
