STATEMENT My work is all about recent happenings. Lines are bold and colours are more attractive and very bright since I was born and brought up in a city like Mumbai. I just capture, say about particular scene or particular character and I try to mix up with my painting little and make those paintings visually as well as with words more funny and whether it is good or bad character I like to enjoy both the characters. And mainly my painting is more depended on my title of the painting. If you read my title and then look at my painting then you enjoy most and can understand the concept behind my painting...Nelson Abraham, 2003.
