Children irrespective of age and geographical location, learn to draw by scratching a line. My training was no exception. I drew birds, houses, mangos by simply enclosing the white area of the page with a line, filled that space with colour. But nothing started without drawing a line with a pencil. As I joined an art institution, I acquired the knowledge about the fundamental elements of a painting. But amongst them what has interested me from the beginning is the idea of a line. How in the process of drawing or scribbling lines an image is born, has always fascinated me. Moreover, how different kinds of lines, be it fluid, broken, geometrical, or lyrical, encapsulate the very mood of the artwork.
Staying in a metropolis like Kolkata, I chance upon numerous lines every day across the city. A large number of them are geometric ones defining the skyline. These overlapping lines often seem to me as an unanswered conflict of human existence. My works are inspired by this idea of capturing the visuals of my immediate circumference through lines of different sensitivity. My artwork develops in response to my immediate environment. I relocate frequently and therefore my environment is constantly changing. My work explores tension between the past and present. I am interested in how something is changing continuously and giving an abstract character. I render these ideas through various material experiments.
