My working process
I achieve abstract forms to highlight the allure, found in the processes of
doing colour play. The core theme of my Work is colour texture and surface. Strongly influenced by the nature.
I am interested in the relationship between the natural elements and the
man made, nature has its own way of reclaiming the artificial.
Working, intuitively with gauze, rice Paper and using dyes and colors
with burned papers. Textural variations are intensified to reveal the
details and complexity within the images materials are deconstructed
using modern methods, ripped, burnt and dyed and consequently, they
evolve organically built up with layers of clothes, papers, and colour
applications happen in the form o f a unique visual abstract and tactile
creation of Form and textures, challenging traditional understanding of
the division between the visible and unseen.
