Philosophy of My Art Work

My subjects are intimately known to me. They record my life and my basic belief that nature is man's truest source of peace. I draw only scenes familiar to me, sometimes visiting and sketching a particular place several times to find out the mood of the environment. My work grows from the simplest of sketches, if that sketch has captured the elusive beauty that stimulated me originally. That is why it is essential for me to establish direct contact with my subject and the area surrounding it

In my art works, I always view the picture as a whole, the striking elements of the scene. I explore the physical and spiritual world in which we live to devise ways to express my discoveries creatively. One has only to look at the history of art to realize that man's ideas, feelings, beliefs and concerns mold the world in which he lives. The artist in any culture searches for answers to the questions of his age and expresses them dimensional through application of varied media and technology. The cultural ambience of any period provides a matrix for its expressive content.
