Culture Preservation 1993

Culture Preservation is one of my oldest collection and was exhibited on 31st August 1993.

This elder series depicts deep meticulous memories...

Ancient homes! Frames of doors, windows and

varandas swings, frames of grandmother and

grandfather. their silent and subtle expressions,

the homely sentiments attached to them, arrested

my thoughts and inspire me...

I tried to release my creative energy through

my paintings.

Bygone days! dying culture! you can visualize

homes through canvas.

Oh! why! is the presentation of their culture heritage
necessary? I asked myself.

My soul stirred and said. Yes!... for the future
generation! the future is nothing but the reflections
of the past.
