Artist Statement
Just by quitting all the traditional cultural values and knowledge, the present world where we are living now has changed into a new urban form. All this traditional life style has a connection with the nature and it plays a central role. The smooth flow of nature's cycle was been maintained because of this understanding. I create all my paintings as a reflection of this essence.
