2.jpg Drawing by Mukund Gawde

i was very serious about painting since college times.after college i came across portrait paintings in which i found all characters very isolated and aloof from society.i realised that this was nothing but my self images.
later i was pushed by so many expressions of surroundings and moods.i realised through these works that colours have made formation of expression.
meanwhile surface started to touch my soul.surface became a lot for me as a painter.
by the time my personal life and social environment(family and post baberi riots in mumbai) became very turbulant.this turbulance came out as emotional truths in painting.i became so spontaneous with me and my painting.at the end of this phase,something started coming out on the surface which was neither emotional nor thoughtful but very pure which was unknown to me.
then i started enjoying unknown without hesitation.in every single frame i travelled and explored a lot.at surprizing moments i was getting so many 'DARSHANS'.now my nature worked through the painting.
2000 onwards till date in my painting there is absolute existnce of Being.for me colour is the only thing which takes me in the trance and vastness of space obsessed me on surface where i reveal the beauty....
