The Earth is a Canvas...







"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all"

"FLAMBOYANT"


Earth as a sacred place is the theme of my paintings. Feelings both spiritual and sensuous are evoked by the painting images. The mysterious beauty of this world is emphasized in the paintings. Earth’s varied natural forms are arranged into alluring and fantastic settings. The canvas becomes an open portal into the landscapes due to the emphasized perspective used in the paintings. The flora of the Earth is the focus in the works and our world is portrayed as an enchanted garden. Oil over acrylic on canvas is used to create the paintings....

...कुछ लम्हों की मुलाकात ...



मुलाकात कुछ ऐसी हुई...
बात ही कुछ ऐसी हुई...
कुछ ही लम्हों में...
करीबियाँ कुछ ऐसी हुई...
खो गए हम तुम...
मुलाकात कुछ ऐसी हुई...

तुम्हारे जज्बातों का...
हमें कोई इल्म नही...
न ख़ुद कुछ कहते हो...
न हमें ही मौका देते हो...
जानते हैं तो सिर्फ़ इतना...
गहराइयाँ शायद कुछ और हुई ....
नजदीकियां शायद कुछ और हुई...

तुम अब साथ नही हो...
पर अरमानों की वोह शाम...
धडकनों की वोह आवाज़...
तुम्हारी महक...
तुम्हारे छूने का एहसास...
...अब भी मेरे साथ है...
अब भी मेरे पास है...

...वोह कुछ लम्हों की मुलाक़ात ही कुछ ऐसी हुई...
