'My journey towards this series started with a question: Who am I? These paintings represent my experiences during the search for the ultimate answer. Through a process of deep meditation and questioning, I happened to come across simple truths that I have tried to express in these works. This process was like peeling an onion where more and more is discovered with each layer. Each layer helped in understanding more of the inner self.’

The spiral is a recurring motif in almost all my paintings. It is the symbol of the infinite Self, the mysterious connection with the Divinity, a visualization of the chakras within our sytems. As seen in Indian mythology it also symbolizes the goddess, the womb, fertility, and the feminine serpent force.

The colors used in the paintings also have great significance for me. Pink activates the heart charka and is open and receptive to changes while golden is the color of spiritual energy. White is the symbol of purity while the earth colors grounds us to mother earth. Red for me is love, passion and energy defined.

I further intend to carry on this quest for truth and discover more and more with each work.
