Pankaj Kumar Singh

I was born into a peasant family and grew up in the memories of the lush green nature of my village, changing my form one by one every moment, constantly putting questions on my mind one by one, and inspired me to do art work Does I do not know what is in the next stage of life and this gives us the eagerness to live life and if you already know what is going to happen next then the eagerness does not remain and life would be dull and happen in nature. Also no reaction to action affects our life or simply say that it does not lead to life. Everything is in the form of everything in the universe and everyone is spending their whole life to understand and explain it and then how can I separate fr om it or does anything in the universe that is beyond my grasp affect me whatever the substances around me introduce me to a story as a beautiful feeling Like if I look around my side, there are many substances which are in some design or shape, which will not be paying attention to anyone, people will ignore it, which will be in the form of a substance, making a story which will have an impact on this nature and all the life in the nature.That is, I am talking about the figure that balances being an arrangement in a nature and creating a new design that impresses me very much. I work about a particular form of nature in my artwork. And keep trying to explain it. Nature has many hues both inside and out, the magic of its mysteries and fascinations unravelling marvellously as one probe. Though vehement in denying my woks to be abstract in their intent, my oeuvre may well be termed as non-figurative in its essence. Going through my canvasses one by one underlines the belief that aesthetic experience cannot be reduced to pleasure in the sense of mere distracting amusement. While at the artworks may provide a haven for the emotions, i do contain a certain realm of unbridled truth nevertheless., for clearly, my whole function of representing/interpreting nature seems to oscillate between its significance as a total realm of being outside or beyond human intentions and its status as a series of perceived environments outside the self, wh ere particular entities evolve within explicit nonhuman contexts. my practice explores issues of the natural world and addresses our relationship to nature. my profound concern for the fragility of the natural environment has been constant. I has delved increasingly further into this fascination with the interconnection of life forms and ecologies to produce work driven by themes of alchemical transformation, history and perception that is distinctive, complex and beautiful. She creates immersive environments that navigate the interconnections between organic elements and systems of nature. Within the recognised threat to so much of the life world she explores what it might mean to heal, albeit metaphorically, the natural environment, fusing this with a sense of communal loss and search for connection with powerful life forces Beginning with putting down a core idea or memory, of some particular layered perspective of nature, then I proceed to build it up layer by layer, cutting, stitching, pasting as I goes, the cutting and joining signifying the continuity of nature in destruction and growth. The visual potency of my compositions and the challenges my subjects myself to in the process of making them, manifest, and even go to exemplify, Schopenhauer’s notion of the expressive will. As the name implies, the relevant aesthetic virtue is expressive will, and its pictorial exposition functions to make public the realm of primal, non-conventional meanings hidden within the artistic psyche. Works of art, even when imitating the beauty of nature foster spiritual progress. One makes such progress through acquaintance of beautiful things to beautiful acts and, then, to beauty itself as it shines through the pure primal soul. That power which makes the soul indivisible, touches things of nature too, suffusing all with beauty as light dispels the dark
