Untitled-II | Etching | 16"x 22"
Artist's note
Isolation of my working hours, immediate forms/objects around me, closed and partially open manmade spaces, displacement from nature in the name of development have remained the themes of interest of my creative works over the last thirty years.
Feet appeared in my earlier works (Etchings) to show my own (human) existence with surroundings which are intimate to me.
I see certain order in incompleteness of disordered, scattered, live and static / inanimate forms which are breathing within the human urban landscape. As I see life in them I want to underline their existence with mine, without any question or doubt. These visual spaces are different states of our inner moods/emotions while living in the present times. Such images of intimate nature become alive in the pictorial space in abstract vein to signify the uncertainty, weirdness and occasionally mysteries of modern human life.
