A short introduction to my world of emotions, feelings and colors My paintings speak a lot about my childhood and the search of my own identity. In the series entitled , ‘The Unsaid’, composed of the following paintings: Cinderella, Silent Sufferer, The Packed Departures, The Long Journey From Me To Myself, The Kite is Me The String With The Other, I basically speak about the suppression of my feelings when I was a child. I emphasize on the fact that I was being controlled by another. I was not a free being. The work, ‘Silent Sufferer’, voices out a sort of silent crying going on, with hands stretching out for help. Again, like in many works of mine, the element of childhood dominates. To conclude, I would say that experiences will go on. A concept can never die. The same concept keeps coming again and again in different ways, unconsciously many a time. And therefore my work goes on…with a new beginning but the same old concept.
