Painting

I was like every other whining schoolboy, creeping like a snail to school. And art was just another 45 minutes of torture one was subjected to. Till my brother’s friend lent me ‘Letters to Theo’ – Van Gogh’s letters to his brother. Ever since, I have loved art.

I What I paint if what I feel – the joy of being alive today. And maybe that is why my colours tend to be bright, my strokes bold and my subjects happy. It could be this that led to a friend referring to me as the Artist of Joy. I liked that and I made it mine, name and motto.
