When I think about my prints,  it is clear to me that they are the reflection of my hidden imagination about human relationships;  their expression,  emotion,  happiness,  beauty,  their secret conversations about (the) daily life.  I think womanhood is the culmination of all expression;  ‘she’  is the unity of all kinds of emotion and bhavas (expressions).  In my work females are a symbol of nature and life.  Sometimes they play a double role in that their colours are an indication of their mental and spiritual states;  passion,  heat,  spirit,  energy,  and dynamism.

In my own practice I believe colours can express mental states and they are of the utmost importance for my thoughts.   Whilst working,  they help me gather all of my personal emotions into one single theme and give my work meaning and depth.  Colours reflect my everyday experiences and form the basis of my imagination and personal space.  Each and every colour has its own personal identity,  which represents a state of existence of the mind.  Tamas,  Sattva,  and Rajas are mental states.  Interestingly each Gunnas (characteristic) has a colour.  Sattva is about peace,  calm and brightness and is represented by white.  Rajas indicates passion,  heat,  spirit,  energy,  and dynamism,  thus manifests itself as the colour red.  Tamas is the least desirable state.  It symbolises anger,  darkness,  negativity,  lack of energy and inertia.  Black is its colour.

Regarding the female represented in my work,  I would say that they are a mystery to me.   They are the emotional messengers in my work - they can smile but the smile is a symbol of my pain,  my thoughts and my own personal views.  Most of my works are untitled,  because they do not have any particular identity;  they are the combinations of different cultures.  If I were to title my work collectively,  I would call it  ‘The mystery of colourful pain’.
