Sun flower

Sunflowers are the symbol of struggle , and my drawing is as wild and provocative as life itself . I felt that the twist and turn of the lines with  thorny edges epitomize  human suffering .

Shool

Medium oil on canvas
Size 12x12x1.5 inches
For sale price $97Prints available
To me painting the figure is like telling a story . A story of some body I heard him talking , I saw him walking and lived with him . Shool when looks around him sees chaos , poverty diseases . He is bewildered . Many thoughts pushed through his head . Do you know what his eyes are telling you ?
