Description of the Artwork “CITY OF BRIDGES”
I am from a beautiful natural hill station with water falls and green forests from India, as a beauty seeker ... traveling a lot outside India in recent times and I find inspiration in the beauty of the places I am blessed to see. My style is best expressed in my series of Abstract Cityscapes. I motivated to paint this series of abstracts cities after my frequent visits to the urban developed busy cities in USA, and it is a recurrent theme for me. Everywhere I traveled, and inspired by street scenes rainy days holding umbrellas in New York, I deeply moved and inspired with people rushed with their daily busy life’s in the traffic, glittering lights, colorful advertising sign boards, tall buildings touching sky, wonderful reflections in the water views of the cities in which I am able to observe what I call the Abstract City Patterns. The architectural beauty rhythm seen from the distance fascinates me. In my personal artistic vision the architectonic details create practically an aesthetic abstract pattern that urges to be translated in differently morphed palette knife strokes and marks interacting with each other in various ways and generating the painterly quality of the impasto textures that I love so much.
