DURGA

Pursuing a career as a Pathologist, my eyes couldn’t help but see the fascination in the microscopic details of cells and relating it to miracles of universe in colours, textures and patterns. This paved a way for studying art as a career choice, though the affinity for the brush and paints has existed since eternity.  My brush has given me a common theme for expressing, and impressing the thoughts of my soul.

My works bring out my conversations with my fantasies, overwhelming moments of nostalgia with elements of nature, and wonders of Universe in one hand, and with my own definition of search, hope, optimism, and treasures of life on the other. The outcome is   in the form of semi – abstract rendition and metaphysical themes.
