My way of painting is to flow with the thoughts, with the feelings only.
Just trying to work on desire-less art.
Why desire-less work ?
Many of the viewer ask me about the shapes I have drawn, size of the painting used etc.
I have nothing to say for them. It’s really doesn’t matter, what frame size I am using, what shapes I am drawing. It is just flowing with the thoughts on that particular moment. There is no any prejudiced subject matter in mind while starting the new work.
Nothing to worry about the trend in market or what size of work people prefer to buy etc. etc.
It’s not my job to think on their wall space or their bed and sofa color scheme, really not.
If they appreciate my work, want to buy it, fine, but I will not make any adjustment with my feelings and what I want to draw on the canvas just to sell it. Art can’t be deliberate, It’s always spontaneous. That’s why desire-less painting.
I think, this is how, viewer also have to look at the abstract painting. Nothing prejudiced.
Just look at the painting and I am sure, it will start emitting the essence. It’ll connect with you, your feelings, your thoughts, and then viewer will go deeper n deeper with the work.

It’s a heart to heart conversation
