Me and My Work
There was no difference between my art and my life. I create art every day. I have been
creating art work from past to present and also do in future. In my work I try to mix-up
my past and future.
The major theme of my works is placed on my experiences. It is a site for transferring experience -
a forum for a two-way conversation between that entire people experiencing it brings to it and all
work has offer. It’s not a one - liner where the artist does all the talking and the viewer does all the
listening. It is really a reciprocal interaction between the work and the one experiencing the work - it’s
not just about them and the looking.
I think artwork has a secret life of its own. I can make something, but once it is out of my
hands . . . That is where the audience comes in, and from then on, it’s all about them and
the work.
Goal
I want to make myself a Visual Artist.
