Antar Pravah means an inner flow - the movement of our memories, emotions, experiences, and relationships within us. My paintings use layers, textures, marks, lines, and abstract forms to explore these unseen connections.
In this work, forms appear, overlap, disappear, and come back, much like memories that stay within us even when we are not aware of them. The small strokes and lines move outward, creating a feeling of energy and movement. At the same time, the painting remains balanced and calm. This reflects how our inner world is always moving and changing, while we continue to find our centre.
The lines connect different parts of the painting, creating a sense of continuity and movement between thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences. For me, the work is a journey within, a quiet movement between what we carry inside and what slowly finds its way to the surface.
A flow that is not moving in one particular direction. It moves towards the left, then slants, turns, changes its course and creates its own patterns. There is no straight line or fixed path. For me, that free movement across the canvas speaks of the freedom we all seek within ourselves.
And yet, even in this freedom, there is a certain balance.
The circular form in the middle becomes a kind of grounding point...a place of focus. But it is not still. There is movement within it too, through the small marks and forms. It is more like finding a centre while continuing to move.
There are also marks underneath the surface, blurred patterns, scratches, fragments of earlier layers. They are partly hidden, but some traces still remain. They may not have much significance on their own today, but they were part of the process through which the work evolved. So I did not want to completely erase them. I wanted to acknowledge them in their own way.
The dark brown marks carry something of nature, memory and things that I have observed and carried with me. The small patch of rust, white with its presence feels like another beautiful journey within the larger journey, something that is probably the source of inspiration, joy, but is still present. The small light ochre square on the middle left with tiny marks brings a soft feeling, you usually feel in your spiritual journey, when you feel content. The painting has more such soft patterns at different places.
The circular form on top also reminds me of the sun and the moon. They have always been a kind of inspiration for me, especially at times when I have felt lost or unsure of myself.
Perhaps the work is simply about this, to keep moving, to find your own direction, and yet remain connected to something within.
