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.
