Night Life






The paintings above are a series I have named 'Night life'. These were my first attempt at abstract a few years ago. This was at a time when there were too many hit-n-run cases of drunk driving in my city. It touched me deeply and they inspired me to put across my thoughts through the medium I share a comfortable equation with.

I have attempted to show the fun side of the night life juxtaposed with the many evils of the same. Since these paintings are abstract, I would like to leave it to my viewers to see and appreciate the paintings from their own perspective.

Hope u have a good time moving along the winding lines and seemingly odd patches. Let's see if they make any sense at all ;) Have fun!

The paintings are of dimension 8"x8". They are oils on stretched canvas mounted on wooden frame.

Solang


This is a 10"x8" oil painting on canvas. I attempted to portray the beauty of the mountains in Solang valley which I visited last year. This is also my first attempt at landscape in such a small dimension. Nevertheless it was fun painting it!  Also, its very different from my regular style of painting and the subject which is usually figurative in nature. But its always fun to try out something new every once in a while =)
