Pahlu...

Finally got some time to paint...trying a new medium now, acrylic on canvas, and am falling in love with it! love the gloss, love the independence of committing mistakes :)...also experimenting with "broken" frames, basically a combination of paintings making a single piece...

Presenting you "Pahlu"

Life isn't all same everytime you see it...sometimes its dark and gray with little hope of improvement (symbolized by the top left side of the painting)...other times its full of colorful memories (symbolized by the bottom left side)...but more often than not, its just confusing (symbolized by the right piece)...you are tied up between various aspects (Pahlu) of your life...

Perspective...


Whatever you do, whatever you are is all a matter of perspective...you might think you are surrounded by people, but in your view you might be alone and content...to someone else you might be lonely surrounded by darkness with mere stars for company...for others a candle is a beacon of light, to show the path...but in its own view, the candle is trapped in darkness...you might think you are full of dreams, to others you might be just another confused guy...

You live in shadows, shadows of what you and everyone else feel about things...the life is trapped in layers of complications...made by a difference of perspective....

Poster colors on paper...no photoshop...

Hope you like it :)

Tree of Life...


The man stands, alone, as life passes by...as he experiences different phases, different shades of this world...he stands firm, deriving energy from his source, converting all darkness into light, no matter what the world around him is...he gives his blood to produce the fruits which are the result of his struggle, which are evidence of the various battles he has won...but are they enough...can the source keep him going...will the fruits decay into nothingness defying the whole purpose of his existence...he has no answers...his life just passes by....

Again, painting with slight photoshop...experimenting with a few filters here :)

Let go...

Some random thoughts leading to a random painting...just switched on my lappy, put on a few movies on the playlist and started painting...i just let the brush do the thinking...hence the title...

Only...

What are you but the smallest piece of this world...what's your purpose but to change as the world around you does and just wait for your time to end...you think you are of value but you fail to realize the darkness around you...even your soul has darkened...your valor, your energy, your everything is being consumed by the darkness...you are becoming a part of it and will be replaced and forgotten when your time comes...

You think what choice do you have, you have done your best, you have worked hard, you have "achieved" things...but you fail to realize that so have others...look around, the world is full of people like you...you are nothing but a blur to this world...

Baboon - sketch

Intended to upload this since a few weeks...a simple non abstract sketch after a long long time...
Guess it doesn't need any explanation on my part :)

Out of place...


A painting after a long long time...
--
This tells about the situation when things are out of place, when situations change, your life changes and its just not in place...the bottom half represents the present, when things are gloomy, you are unhappy, alone...and the upper half represents the good times, when you were happy, when you used to enjoy every moment of your life...but sadly they are just memories now...they don't fit into your present...things are just out of place...not the same now, will not be the same again...

Painting and then photoshop to help the cause :)
