The origination of a concept is sourced from various associations within the huge space of the inhabited landscape. The different elements that constitute paradigms of 'interior' and 'exterior' landscape create an order of mental picture which helps to embody a 'new' form through a practice of systematic analysis and reduction of criteria. The process gives me an opportunity to go beyond the order of things where I may encounter a shared form of communication with the onlooker. The multiplicity of interpretations of the communion tends to create various possibilities of 'readings'. The spatial patterning of these readings has a great deal to do with the nature of social encounter, the kind of which determines my built-in space. The simultaneous experience of two modes of envelopment and detachment which contribute a sense of enjoyment of being has helped in my realm of perception. The spatial relationships that I experience with respect to the components of colour, texture, space with its light and quietness combined with an innate and sublime geometry, all synthesize to compose a feeling of rhythmic balance. The almost palpable atmospheric space within the environ of urban architecture and the possibility of movement within a constricted area creates a thought-provoking atmosphere. The distinct colour shifts and the intensity of emotion of a ‘colour-field’ generate a profound effect on my psyche. Occasionally the integrated components of light and dark metamorphose as private spaces for introspection devoid of the image of human figure, but the presence being contemplated. The arrangement, context, counterpoint and technique become important for the objective transformation of my work, helping for the creation of a subjective dialogue. For pictorial structuring both symmetry and non-symmetry of geometricity along with various gravities of flat, opaque, transparent or textured colour have been explored to achieve an organized whole. The analysis and control which I exercise over the making-process, and its role and importance as a carrier of the image has helped to enrich my practice. All these have enabled me to acknowledge my search for a perfect visual equilibrium.
