Nature has returned again. This has to do with my return to the village. There is something new too: there has been a remarkable change in the way I now feel and think. Suddenly the oft-seen naturescape has turned to the depictim of forms of terror – the terror that is taking place as a daily occurrence within and without. Murders, riots and planned massacres all over the world, day in and day out! It's high time artists stopped thinking that the aim of their work is only to create beauty. They should realize that they are accountable to society. And here, I strongly feel visual abstraction is not enough for discharging our duties as artists. Realism and abstraction should go hand in hand. So much in a nutshell about my recent paintings.
