ABOUT MY PAINTINGS My paintings are the outcome of my childhood memories, nostalgia and vanishing culture, which is gradually disappearing. But whatever is remaining evokes my memories and I enter into a different world, especially of my forefathers, their way of living, the way they use to behave and dress and project themselves. The existing things like old havelis (Houses), faded murals on the broken walls. Old sepia photographs of forefathers go hand-in-hand with my nostalgic memories. They are not clear, but it has a clear texture, which depicts the footprints of destiny.
