Artist's Viewpoint

Art is an ecstatic overflow of the all encompassing. A manifestation of powerful emotions, which an individual expresses through various mediums. Art is the wholesomeness of Nature, which can be absorbed, and imbibed to explore its virtues.

For me, clay concepts have always rapt my passion for artistic expressions, and it is in this I have always found copleteness, though I have tried working with other, mediums like: fabrics, paper, oil, water colors, etc. However, flowers have also had a major effect on my curiosity. It has always embodied the message of love, goodwill, happiness, and sorrow and most importantly the beauty of life itself. Moreover, it has inspired me to design floral designs on clay, infusing in it the colors and the marvel of nature.
