Light for all...The Source of Creativity.

As an artist, Light is the source of my creativity & imagination. I think, 

there are two fastest things in the world, one is Speed of Light and other 

is Imagination of an Artist. If one wants to see the shades of light, it 

must be need creativity & imagination not Prism.

A picture is worth a thousand words, it can convey far more and is not 

restricted by any linguistic or cultural barriers. I am using painting, as 

medium,to aware vulnerable tribes about light & light based technologies. 

These people are far away from light-based technologies. but still they 

know the importance of Light for Life.

Here, in this paintings, I tried to show, use & importance of light in a 

artistic way. We are using light, speed of light in technologies everywhere 

like computer,internet, space science; In education & as a source of energy 

we use light. These are things which are related to our day-to-day 

life,this basic happenings are subject line of the paintings.I also 

painted, magic of shadow & light by showing the game of Camera, a 

instrument which is romancing with light & shadow. 

As far as creativity is concern, I painted different aspects of Light.

And also want to show Light, as a source of Wisdom & Enlightenment. Light 

is source of life. A life which begins with light and ends in darkness.

In short, education,entertainment,energy,enlightenment,all has a one origin...Light.

The Beatles & Indian Culture.

The world today, as we are very well aware, is fighting many wars, violent and silent alike, leading to much suffering among people. However, all hope is not lost. Several people, institutions and organizations are striving continuously to bring some respite to this unrest. In this modern world, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln, to name a few, have showed us the dream to contribute to wipe every tear from every eye. Their thoughts, actions and wisdom had no boundaries and no barriers can contain them or their efforts towards bringing about humanity and peace to this grief-stricken world.

          Parliament Square is the place where the statues of these great personalities are situated.Its my great pleasure to be here at London Parliament Square.

The Beatles, world’s most popular rock band in history of music. The “Beatles” known for promoted meditation & Yoga in entire the world. NASA beams Beatles’ “Across the universe” into the deep space in which Beatles used the chanting of “OM”. This picture shows the influence of Indian philosophy & culture on world in each field it may be art & music or science & technology. 

 On the contrary, it is the most universal syllable because it neither refers to any particular religion nor God. There have been several theories behind the OM mantra with the most popular explanation being that it was the cosmic sound which initiated the creation of universe (big bang theory). But that alone would not have been sufficient to turn it into a regular practice in Indian culture.

London....."Exhibition & Demonstration"-2

Art reflects Society reflects Art....

Art and politics as arenas of human endeavor display various familiar intersections. A political ideology is not merely a series of assertions; it is a multi-media aesthetic surround. Now the texts themselves have to be viewed aesthetically as well as semantically, and the power of the Vedas as Code of Conduct (aachar samhita) is not only what it declares, but the poetry by which it declares what it declares.

Painting is an art: and art is not vague production, transitory and isolated, but a power which must be directed to the development and refinement of the human soul, to raising the triangle of the spirit. The artist must have something to communicate, since mastery over form is not the end but, instead, the adapting of form to internal significance. --(Wassily Kandinsky).

My work appreciated by Society.These things encourage & inspire me always.

London...."Exhibition & Demonstration"

My exhibition in London & painting demonstration at London Parliament Square.
It is my pleasure that my work recognized & appreciated by our Hon. Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi ji.(Appreciation letter from Hon. Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Maodi ji)

Idea of Exhibition:

•          Mahatma Gandhi & Swami Vivekanand dreamt of Progressive India in every field. Progressive India which will lead world in politics & peace, science & economy etc.

• ·         This is going to happen under the leadership of our Honorable Prime Minister.exp. Successful Mars mission, Nobel peace prize, International yoga day. As an artist it is my responsibility to carry forward this success story of my motherland through my paintings.

Demonstration at Parliament Square, London:
On 22nd May 2015

•        It will be the first time in history that an Indian artist will going to paint at Parliament square, London. The place where statues of Nelson Mandela, Jan Smuts, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi are situated. These great personalities whose lives are itself a message of peace & humanity for Mankind.
•        With this inspiration, I am going to paint on theme “Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam” which based on Indian Philosophy of Vedas
•   Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam- Whole world is a family.The society where everyone should lived with peace, brotherhood &  tolerance.

Exhibition in London:

at Indian High Commission,London on 25th May to 29th May·       

•   Mahatma Gandhi & Swami Vivekanand dreamt of India where everyone should lived in secular India with peace & brotherhood. These thoughts are not only promoted but also carried forward by our honorable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi ji.His work as Prime Minister towards, maintaining brotherhood among nations, promoting Indian culture & philosophy, fostering social & economic development, providing humanitarian aid in cases of natural disaster, woman empowerment. These all are subjects of my painting.

• Theme of exhibition based on, work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi & president of NCP Mr. Sharad Pawar.

•         For first time in history, Indian Prime Minister’s ideology will be showcased before the global audience in this manner.

Art & Style:

• ·         Paintings are very powerful medium to put a thought in front of world.
•          Making replica is not creativity. Creativity is something about feelings which should be new every time.
•          Through painting, I want to show the new aspects of India & Indian culture, for that , there is no need to do portraits & landscapes. India is more than portraits & landscapes.
•          Society reflects in Art. In my art my India reflects.
•          The unique style of an artist makes him solitary in characteristics.
•          Uniqueness of my paintings are in boldness of lines, confidence & powerfulness in stocks, simplification of subject.
•          The responsibility of an artist to show beauty of society at the same time ugliness also. Like Picasso’s Guernica or Hussain’s Bharatmata.

Childhood & collage days:

•          From early ages of my childhood, I connected with Art. I observed, Horse races at Mahalaxmi Race-course, cricket matches at wankhede stadium. These are experiences which impact a lot on my artistic mind. These observations reflects in powerful stocks in my painting. In childhood, I used paint on huge canvases.
•          In collage days,I inspired by thoughts & work done by Mr. Sharad Pawar. He was my very first inspiration & I created a painting on Mr. Sharad Pawar’s personality which will exhibit in London.
•          With his inspiration in collage days, being a part of student movements, I meet with the people of from every class of society, I saw their life, differences in society, growth of every part from agriculture to art, from economy to environment from spirituality to science, from politics to philosophy. And automatically my paintings become more & more closer to society.Art should co-relate itself with society.

     ·         My art is not to decorate apartments. I do not wish to restrict my art to commercial purposes, but intend to make it instrument to contribute Indian culture & society.

detail descriptions of paintings on next post...

Mangalmay Bharat.

Inspired by the speech Prime-Minister Shri. Narendraji Modi gave after the success of ISRO's Mars mission, I believe that our scientists are Real Heroes.What our scientists achieved was near impossible and similarly I have portrayed Lord Hanuman's jump towards Sun which was considered nearly impossible.
The words 'Mangalmay Bharat' depicts that our country is now set to lead the world in space technology.

To Create... Creation of Subjects in Painting.

Our day-to-day life gives me the subjects for my painting. To create itself means give birth to a thing which is not exit before. In a painting, thought bring into existence through colors and lines.The Creation is more than what one can see through eyes.This every day life can be present with simplicity & ease. In fact, simplicity is the sole purpose of Art.

Lavanya... liveliness of feeling

The artist's creativity, a fertile imagination, he sees not through his eyes only also through the vision. The liveliness of feeling & grace by imparting the emotional touch to human figure in painting.

'New' is always welcome.

In the contemporary world  art should be modernistic, ideas which cutting-edges, concept should be youthful & unique; subject should be original, in vogue, untouched. That is all about contemporary art.

Nature of Art...Swabhav.

Swabhav...the purer & finer subtle body of an object which is the very expression of its own essential nature. The means by which this effect is produced is characteristic of inward vision of an Artist like Me. It is done by a bold, firm ; pure & strong outline & a total suppression of everything that would interfere with its boldness, purity, strength would intense significance of Line. The strong subtle line & pure shapes which make the humanity of human form & humor in life. This power of line is the source of remarkable union of greatness & moving grace which continues in My Paintings.

Fantasy of Lines & Colors.

The Artist speaks with colors & lines and He is Creator of world of imagination, world of entertainment.A picture is worth a thousand words, it can convey far more and is not restricted by any linguistic or cultural barriers.

Subject - The Soul of My Painting...

Simplicity in subject is very much important for painting. Simplification of idea is the basic step in painting. The subject which easily relate with life are material for my paintings.And catching the humor, which is hide in every incidence of life,giving a liveliness to the painting.

Simplicity in Art.

 Art matters the same way language matters -- or the way breathing matters! It is a fundamental component of what makes us uniquely human.

Art is all about beauty & ugliness.

The Artist is a part of the universe giving expression to the ideals of its own eternal beauty & unchanging law.It is not necessary for all art to be beautiful, now terrible but always with that living quality which transcends the limited conceptions of beauty & ugliness. Nature is sometimes soft & smiling, sometimes also red in tooth & clew;in her life & death are found. Creation, preservation & destruction are equally her work. Her images may therefore be beautiful or terrible. Art is about beauty & ugliness both at same time.

Art...expression of joy.

The art is not a faithful photographic reproduction of nature but it is an idealization of nature and individualization of eternal beauty.
The purpose is more important than need. And the purpose behind the art give the meaning to it.Art is the world recreated by human out of the material provided by nature with the help of creativity & imagination he has been gifted with.

Not only an exhibition...but more than that

The exhibition at Hotel Oberoi is milestone in my career.After the terrorist attack of 26/11in Hotel Oberoi Mumbai , it was the first exhibition in hotel. It was an opportunity for me to give my, condoles who loosed their life in that attack and tribute for them who fought bravely.It was a Chitra-Shradhanjali.

Art is the instrument of Peace.A painting is worth a thousand time more than a thousand words. Some people cannot  read, some not able to hear but all of them can understand the language of painting.An

artist should stand for peace. I stand for peace.

I have also painted to pay my tribute to the police officers who fought bravely against the terrorists that struck Mumbai during the 26/11 attacks.And Mr.Vishwas Nangre-Patil one of the brave IPS officer  

The Artist and His Society.

Traditionally,we have believed that art imitates life. The painter represents what he or she sees by producing a painting on a canvas.The art changes the way we view the world, and in fact, life sometimes imitates art rather than the other way around. Throughout,history, it has always been the case that art has the power to change society.

The artist could participate in the transformation of society by using visual images as an agent of social progress. Art could be a critical as well as a descriptive representation of life.

Art & Society...

The things which shaping the world are reflect in my paintings. My art largely focuses on socially relevant subjects and day-to-day happenings that inspire or move me.

 When Anna Hajare, a prominent social activist, went on a hunger strike and led a movement against corruption, through the Gandhian philosophy of satyagraha, I painted to support him. This work was then signed by him, along with a message to encourage my work further.

Empowerment of society.

Women...the most marginalised community in the world. Crime against woman happens everywhere: it happens inside homes, in families, in neighbourhoods, in police stations, in towns and cities, in villages, and its incidence increases, as is happening in India, as society goes through change, as women’s roles begin to change, as economies slow down and the slice of the pie becomes smaller — and it is connected to all these things. Just as it is integrally and fundamentally connected to the disregard, and indeed the hatred, for females that is so evident in the killing of female foetuses. For so widespread a crime, band aid solutions are not the answer.

Men can stop violence against women.

All men have the capacity and desire to play a positive role in creating communities free from violence. Men must join with women as allies in creating an equitable and just world for all genders in order to end men's violence against women.Only one person makes the choice to rape. There are things we can (and should!) do to protect ourselves, but the only person who can prevent rape is the rapist himself.

With the help of my paintings I also try to encourage victims of rape, who have lost hope, with a view to garner support for them in society, particularly due to the stigma attached to such victims, especially in a country like India. 

Back again...

To write something is more difficult than...to draw or paint something.If the feelings are express by lines, colour than who needs words.
