Description of submitted work:
My work deals with the issues of human desires. It expresses a feeling about the absence of humanity and human weakness, about greed and anger and dissatisfaction. The corroded metal becomes a metaphor for the erosion of human values. It has become an essential feature of my mixed-media work.
The use of photography and re-painting, welding, re-composing has become a part of my artistic process. Intuition a great role in perceiving everyday objects and tools and substituting their form for a function that serves to depict a part of the human body or the whole body.
I want to work more in photography and video as my medium, but would like to continue with painting and drawing too, as they are equally expressive mediums. Meeting and seeing new art, new artists and experiencing a different culture would definitely help me in the evolution of my art practice. Sculpture is an area which I feel the need to explore even more.
Life around me and my existence as an individual compel me to reinvent and establish for myself a methodology to deal with different aspects of my life and artistic journey. Social, political and cultural conditioning has led my work in a particular direction.
