Artie


Art and artists are two things I adore.  For different reasons and also for the famous one beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder!  I would soon be putting up some mug shots of paintings here.

Also as the years of acquaintance with well known artists in India and through them worldwide I have been exposed to all forms of art.  Have been trying my hand at sculpting since that is something which has mesmerized me from my childhood.  It starts from pottery to wood to bamboo.  Its fun to be with and to create something of your own.  I still feel that the only reason why men are good sculptures than women is because they give birth to babies and men do the same justice to their sculpting! Hey relax this is just an observation by a hardcore hobby artist not a statement.

Face is the index of mind, personality, intelligence, future, past etc. etc. what if you have 200 of those?  I was in mind to do something using a social network channel to see how the reactions are for showcasing 200 faces of mine.  The response was good, what started as just putting up faces slowly graduated to showing more of what I do and the city I live in.

Mural planned for ISRO-HQ
This is the mural I had planned for ISRO-HQ which was supposed to serve the purpose of fountain and a recreation corner.  Now at the same site they have put up a fountain a very concrete one well not all the time your effort on a presentation gets noticed.  Most of the time its copied! Sob Sob Sob!!!

But this was my first venture into designing murals and gave me a different perspective of looking at installations.  Imagine I took a week to present to the ISRO officials what if they would have agreed for me to do this!!

Death Series
This was my first effort in digital art.  This form has seen many changes and has seen many involving contributions of late.  The form used here is nothing but putting your head inside a flat bed scanner and just don't smile or open your eyes!

It did work, I am pretty sure that this is how I would look if I Had died then and there! So I called it the death series, many of my friends, family and well wishers had to see themselves DEAD.

I would be adding some of my work done on dry crayons and which fall under the category of abstract art.  I will put the Draupadi series, five paintings depicting five women in five different ways.
