Lot Essay

My paintings, drawings and the recent paper work have been directly influenced by my experience of traditional Indian dolls, paper toys, shapes galore. The experience of being with them, and the inspiration to create them, are inseparable. A painter is a child in his purity of feeling--for only then he creates with authenticity of his being.
