Statement

During all these years, man and life, their complex co-existence, are the central concerns of my work. I am also sometimes fascinated by Natures' organic qualities, its design, and rhythmic construction. People continue to be the dominating influence in my work. For the last few years, I have been deeply disturbed with the man's brutality upon man, in Iraq, in the U.S.A., in Russia, in the U.K. or in India. Religious and racial riots in Gujarat, bombing and destruction by one country on another country, terrorist attacks on helpless children in Russia, or on the innocent public in other parts of the world, torture of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Gharib Jail and political killings in the village of Bengal, or other parts of India, torture, and rape of women and young girls, have all affected me deeply. This suppressed humanity makes me alert, sad and disturbed. The present turmoil has affected me as a human being and is directly reflected in my art.
