Maha Kali- IV

My Work as an artist is intrinsically connected with my life and personal growth. The inspiration for my art comes from all areas of my life: from emotion, philosophies, interests and self-exploration. I have a very strong interest in symbolism and mythology and probably the abstract expressionists have had the greatest influence on my work. I often create abstract symbols that represent a particular philosophy or feeling associated with the basic truths. As with my “Kali Series” each of the mixed media abstract works portrays particular concepts, such as rapture, conception and the emotions linked to these. These visible forms further represent the singularity of life….. that all things lie within the individual, thus all works have an inner glow of vibrant colour representing the life force. This is surrounded by black- representing the abyss of the physical world.

Maha Kali - IV “Maha Kali - IV”

My earliest interest in creating began in my very early years about the age of five with an overwhelming attraction to colour. I always felt I could touch colour. Colour had vibrations I could feel-both physically and spiritually. Now those relationships and tensions among colours help me create emotional statements. My work was traditional realism and I worked mostly in Acrylic and mixed media with a special interest in the texture of painted surfaces. My Art is the realm of abstract and non-objective art. Perhaps the most controversial aspect of my art is the mythology in which I work. I feel stagnant trying to copy myself. The excitement comes from the growth, from taking a particular kind of art in to another form. My most successful work which is my first statement …….. my first impulse.c
