Dimensionism
2D Converted As 3D

" 'Just as a small dew drop refracts the captured expanse of the sky, our search is all hidden before our eyes and it is one's duty to find them out and express it.'

The above mentioned words triggered the start for my search.

The chick inside an egg, a tree inside a seed, or space inside the space falls as a proof for the basic secrets of creation. Just like the thread from a spindle, when released, spreads and covers a larger area creating new forms when compared to it wound in the spindle. The space contains infinite aesthetic forms, volumes, areas and space.

The space connected with Drawings and Paintings are 'two dimensioanl' the length and breath. Depth has always remained as an illusion that is virtual to the artist's exposure of his skill. Moreover in two dimensional works a flat surface is seen as a flat surface only. Adding to it, we are able to see only the front side of the space. The other side of the same space always remains hidden.

My search continues in creating a three dimensional image and form combining front and back space of a two dimensional spread and the other related dimensions. Past is past, future remains a question and present is now with us. My nature is like that. I live a present life. I am involved and enjoy the present place, time and thoughts. The subject and the medium was varied by myself, but the concept remains linked towards all my works."
