Comments:
THE GROWTH STORY………. On the scenario of World Globalization , India’s fast growing economic development is the concept of my painting. The economic activity has picked up substantially in the developing India leading to higher income levels. On the basis of an article by a leading news paper ………….
India is among the world’s most efficient financial market s in terms of technology, regulation and systems. It also has one of the highest savings rate in the world. While available saving options very few investors invested in equity compare to other saving options. But as a hope now people are thinking to invest in equity for getting more on there investment.
Stock market becomes major gossip for common people. I have been absorbed and immersed since 2005 and I decide to paint on this untouched subject for paintings in narrative manner. Application of coloures goes more in impasto with graffiti style. Happenings in surroundings appears in my paintings shows a relation of an artist’s association with society. |
