When I think about my prints, it’s clear to me that they represent my own relation to reality and Maya (illusion). These two concepts come simultaneously in every life on Earth and I use the illusions and the human presence in their subconscious appearance in space and time. I very often transform these illusions into super humans so they can enter into the world of the living as the wheel of the past, present and future.
Beginning with this concept, I began to think about how these illusionary identities are related to the normal human being. I have explored the interpretations of mythology and culture, the relationship between the Goddess and the Female identity according to contemporary Indian culture. My work explores similarities and differences, a wonderful vision of both reality and nightmare. This subject is quiet conceptual yet very transparent and the rhythmic construction of the linear images contrasts with the highly sophisticated colorful backgrounds. These create an illusion between the background and the foreground and expand on the notion that colors convey a mystical meaning.
The transformation from one state to another can take place in an instant, and makes an immediate impression. I am concerned with catching these moments of change; to show one phase, which is already something different. Nothing is fixed but the possibility to feel in every moment is beauty. To get a glimpse of the unmovable, moving – of something indestructible – this is beauty.
In my own practice I believe colors can express mental states and they are of the utmost importance for my thoughts. Whilst working, they help me gather all of my personal emotions into one single theme and give my work meaning and depth. Colors reflect my everyday experiences and form the basis of my imagination and personal space. Each and every color has its own personal identity, which represents a state of existence in the mind.
