Horses and humans have an ancient relationship. Asian nomads who invaded India from the central Europe probably domesticated the first horses some 4,000 years ago, and the animals remained essential to many human societies until the advent of the engine. Horses still hold a place of honor in many cultures, often linked to heroic exploits in war.
There is only one species of domestic horse, but around 400 different breeds that specialize in everything from pulling wagons to racing. All horses are grazers. Horses are known for their elegance as well as strength.
I have always been fascinated by the power and strength, beauty and majesty of horse. Since my childhood I have been impressed by the horse by reading Russian stories like “Good Bye Gulsari”, “Yardstick”. Later I saw many War Movies on Horses like War Horse, Legends of the Fall etc, I felt like expressing all these emotions in my paintings . So I began making the “Horse Series”.

My work has a strong aesthetic aspect of human and animal body. The Evolution of skeletal structure, the muscle attachment and the action every muscle is designed for is a wonderful creation of the nature. Anatomy has always been my favourite subject. During my doctorial study I constantly experimented with creating the anatomy of human body in the various art forms. I believe nothing can make an impact on human mind in the way the human body makes! All primary instincts such as bliss, happiness, sexual desire, fight instinct, fear of dead, agony & pain looking at a dead can take away your heart to the emotional depths.
Hence I started exploring the subjects in Mythology, History, Science and Contemporary Issues in the society to find inspiration to create my own expression of human body. My works express the idea of human or animal body in an abstract manner. You may term it as “Abstract Figurative Style”!
