Artist statement
My Belief
Mother and child is a phenomenon explored through different moods, materials and stories.
The central idea
The essence of their life
Currently, the work looks closely at a community in Choma Village, Gurgaon. The paintings depict expectations, reality, happiness and love without separating tenderness from hardship.
Each image is informed by detailed research and documentation involving families from the community. These observations are translated onto a two dimensional surface to represent struggle, vision, happiness and resilience.
The aim is not only to reproduce a likeness, but to preserve the bond people share and make visible the strength that survives inside difficult circumstances.
“Hope is seeing light in spite of being surrounded by darkness.”
