How would you describe your style of art?

Realistic, semi realistic thought & drawing based visualization. I am trying to portray the reactions & the reflections of modern urban society, its sadness & happiness in global perspectives.

How do you decide on your subject matter?

Within the extended space my body occupies and interacts, I have never witnessed events which can be labeled, (events of national importance) or (affecting the lives of millions).
But within me, in my mind space, much happens. Mental events? I am unable to name them, labeled them; yet they are real, they influence the space my body occupies. They create a mind-body behavior script for me; which come alive when I relate with my fellow human beings.
This creates an enigmatic dissonance in me. I live as a social being, with responsibility, with commitment, yet I fill a sense of incompleteness.
In this context, my art, the act of creating visual expressions, statements come into being.
Within the unlimited confines of my paintings, drawings, etchings and sculpture; I explore check, match, document, and predict the events which touch me, and that is a responsible justification for continuing the work I am doing.
