Every Object has a distinct identity of its own. However, when it is juxtaposed with other things, its function and even the appearance might also change. An object to me is the key to the mystery of life. The more we understand the meaning and purpose of objects, the more we move closer to the essence of out own existence. I depict images and conceive them through my internal frame of mind to comprehend then meaning and purpose of then in order to manipulate them on the canvas. Therefore, I never capture the object itself, but merely portray its image to signify something else.

I observe my surroundings and relate them with my thoughts. This is how a sense of drama develops in the materialistic aspect of my life. This fabric of drama gradually blankets my experiences, motivating me to paint non realistic things to reveal my reality.

I penetrate inside the epidermis of my selected objects to be in contact with the actuality. This becomes possible for me by hearing the sound, feeling the texture and experiencing the space and forms of the object. This immensely helps me in being intimate with my emotions. Now, the space where I depict apple becomes apple-less.
