Comments:

Sex is an experience that affected both the body and the mind. It is a place of the ritual and sexual license where the passion and violence ruled, all these things of this world are coming into my works as metamorphosis which all activities linked to sex. Enquiry of me in my kind of work of art always is there. Basically I did bachelor degree in painting and now I am working in graphics even though I like painting. The play of surfaces gives rise to a relief effect some thing in between painting and sculpture. I am experimenting in this technique mixing with various mediums also. I feel more dimensions in this technique then plan painting or graphic. White relief image are visible and invisible which giving support in my work. Painting images are co-relating with relief image which give some time feeling of positive or negative space. Some work I have done which has my self enquiry; but it has social political environmental context also. All those thinking process working in my way of working.
