                MY  ART   OF  ULTRACLASSICISM ( AN  ULTRAMODERN   CLASSICAL  CONCEPT ) 
                   | 
               
              
                The transition between the 20th and 21st  Century is most important to me as an expression of creative time of my  paintings. The evolutionary images of old monuments, ruins, caves, ancient  places where one can almost hear the footsteps of history, are aesthetically  composed keeping in mind the philosophy governing socio-economic life placed  against the backdrop of a historical time frame. This juxtaposition opens up a  broad spectrum in my paintings. It creates an allegorical resonance of the  historical past with the contemporary period.   I expound my conceptual introduction briefly to the viewers.  
                  The lost paradise of my past like adieu to the  setting sun, the residue of the ruins, the entity of life and ever flowing  belief are conceivable in my art elements, I am able to transfigure into the  abstract art-forms and figments from the fossilisation, vibration, sacraments  which are perceived through the allegory of “Sacred Stones”, “Stagnant Water”.  I search these in my various insights. 
                  At the core of my artistic abilities lies the  desire to create unusual images of spatial and temporal variations. The essence  of this is evident in the pictorial trend set as I evolve as an artist.  Pictorial time and space are depicted using variegated tones of various colors. 
                  As a mature and experienced colourist, my  philosophy of colour dominates the entire painting area with the various  layer-bound skins of colour and reflections. This language of colour is the  transitional language of my paintings. The innate lightness of colour creates  illusion and vibrancy. The concept of spectrum effect of my painting highlights  my originality, trends and technique. As a result my painting encourages a  massive distant range of vision. I recognise this as the visual range-effect of  painting, through which it acquires the ineffable quality of dimension of the  ultraclassicism of painting. 
                  The quality of colourful depth, its tenderness,  simplicity, fluidity and solidity are measured scientifically as per variation  of properties, such as velocity, gravity, volume, weight and proportion of  colour and light. As a result of these measured variations, the plastic quality  of colours essentially depicts an unusual tendered beauty of ultraclassical  art. This knowledge and conscious colour exploration has established me as a  colourist painter. 
                  I paint using a heavy body of colourful depth with  dense pigments impasto. I prefer to use the sensitivity of surface, its touch  and feel, applying texturous paint skin and porous brushings with intermingled  layers of thick and thin colours. 
                  The centrifugal character of composition and  outward expression creates a monumental and expanding quality in my painting  that surges forward to embrace the viewer. 
                  According to the requirements, soft and sharp edges  are use in making plasticised lines, which are dynamic and are cut short  controlled and harmonised. The insulated felt-contents articulate my emotions  into convincing pictorial sensation with latent gestures. Intertwined elements  of felt-content create calm, quiet, fluid and floating shapes of non  representational nature that traverse space which transcends into a floating  structure within the pictorial space that persists in the mind. It permeates  the viewer's consciousness and is imbibed by their hearts. 
                  My paintings are complete in nature, incorporating vital  aspects and concepts of ultramodern classical elements of art.  |
