THE STORY WITHIN
I come from a story telling culture of South-Asia where our classical dance is imbued with stories through which we present deeper thoughts; ancient religious philosophies are taught through mythologies; Sufi’s spread their wisdom through poetry and parables. This series of watercolors reflects some of that tradition. I want the viewer to look at my work and imagine what is happening, what happened before that moment and then inspire them to make the story their own. For no two people looking at the same painting will come up with the exact same tale. And so, in each painting there is a sense of mystery, something not quite of this earth, something sensed rather than defined. Each story caught in a somewhat rounded form where there is no real beginning or end, encapsulated in this moment forever; yet you can take it out of there in your mind and travel through time with it.
