INSPIRATION IN DEVELOPMENT OF ART "IMMORTALS"

As my father late Sunder Lal Soni, was a musician and painter, during childhood,i used to devote most of the time with listening classical music and work of his paintings. Subsequently, i devoted my leisure time deeply in his paintings work.The expression of my inner feelings through paintings/collages gave me inner satisfaction apart from my engineering profession. My father was a real inspiration in development of my Art.i would often made sketches and water colors-paintings from nature & my surroundings.I always utilize my inherent feelings of creativity and apply in the field of art.
When i got time & opportunity i started working in the form of collages created by natural materials like dried flowers,leaves twigs, petals etc.Things that discarded by nature to perish in time became a starting point for my mind.Natural materials to use them as natural forms and textures to create my compositions.To suit my way of working i found a way to treat bark of palm tree leaves and make them my canvases.It became an interesting process of finding objects & rejuvenate them which offers a new life & identity in my compositions.
Nature is constant change, it's human mind which immortalizes it and convert the nature in to art.Accordingly i define my Collage as"IMMORTALS"
Further.. in my words... "Immortals"....are..........Novel
---------Innovative
---------Creative
---------Inspiring to every one
