Abstract Thoughts

October 3rd 2016

Abstract art is visual poetry. The formlessness tell a story that can be so personal to the viewer and more so to the creator.
For making an abstract I need to unconditioned myself when encountering the surface of canvas. I have to get involved in the “present moment”. By building layers and layers of paint, I try to create an impression of myself in which i have lived metaphorically. So, abstraction is in its deepest sense based on realism, as in reality – reality of the PRESENT MOMENT, free from any thoughts or memories… only the present moment existing. So painting is a time manifested process and I become only a means.
Though am relatively newer to the abstract style, I try to make them not beckoning but gently whispering and once that whisper becomes audible, it translates into a conversation wherein one can respond. In evoking these gentle persuasive responses from the viewer, lies the success of my art.
