Trikaal... diary (Part 2)

Change is constant but yet something needs to be constant - is Philip’s artistic statement. Edging closer to nature and the bygone his work offers an experience of a gentle walk in the village, full of vibrancy. Nothing is fully defined or even suggestive, or it may even elude interpretation.

But the delicate charm and subtle beauty of the paintings, leave a feeling of something timeless, a record of the bygone from where the present stems and the future derives.

Philips art trajectory is in fact an entry into the nostalgia. The modern world’s craze for gizmos and an almost impossible life of wired quagmire, such artistic glimpses offer an escape to the comfort zones of the past. This deep human yearning is always present in everyone and offers solace in times dilemmas of existence.

Lost childhood, warmth of mother’s embrace, a favourite tree, an evening by the riverside, first love or first tastes refuse to leave till the end. Nostalgic impulse moves us reminding us with tad anger about the world that was and no longer is.

Testimonial s : “God lies in details and these paintings with fine details has the capaci...

Trikaal... diary (Part 1)

Live in present... Paint the past! ...for what? For self happiness But... that colouring is for future as well, for colouring future becomes a page of history! A renowned economist and writer Dr. Narendra Jadhav says, “Future never forgives, those who forget the past.” It is true and is acceptable to the creative mind like mine. It is my innate character to go deep down nostalgia and paint those memories. That is why I could create art till now. There is no dotage, neither for childhood memories nor for enrapturing their ambience. All my childhood memories are sketched in the diary as if each creation depicts a page of my reminiscence. I have preserved ‘Myself’ and have let ‘Myself’ to wander with self-contentment in it. Sometimes on earth and in the sky, In the midst of flora or even on the back of the buffalo, As if I had wings of mind to fly... My mind opens out to life and my perception let my hand to ...
