Partly my fault
2006 |
)
|
| The veil is an important aspect of a ladies head-dress in certain religious denominations. The veil also represents subjugation of a woman's identity under the closed confines of a piece of cloth that covers the wearers face.
A lot of women are in a position to discard the veil, but wear it for religious reasons. I think a time has come where women could send a bigger message by discarding their veils than keep it on for religious reasons.
To the extent that they do not raise their voices, some part of the culpability for this sort of subjugation remains their own. |

Buy Me Bring Me Take Me

|
| I used this model’s face to spotlight the all-pervasive nature of the advertising industry that compels you to do exactly what the title says. They do it through direct, indirect and subliminal ways. This pose is meant to reflect the omnipresent aspect of this influence on our lives and does not denigrate or applaud the techniques. |

Yearning - Homage to Leonardo
2006 |
)
|
| This is my personal homage to Da Vinci. He had managed to effortlessly convey the essence of a feeling inherent in any of his subjects so much so that the images and the expression took a life of their own. To me this represents the face of yearning (a feeling that we all experience consciously or otherwise for better or worse times) portrayed on one of the attendant virgins in his monumental work Virgin of the Rocks. |

Bollywood Broodings
2007 |
)
|
| This painting portrays a representation among the multitude of young ladies who leave the suburbs with star crossed eyes hoping to make it big in Bollywood (India’s Hollywood). A very small percentage of them actually make it up the grinding road to stardom (sometimes to be knocked off the pedestal with their very next venture). A large percentage of them do not make it anywhere near the top instead languishing in the alleyways of Bombay as second hands and pass-me-downs. A lot of these ladies have the right ‘stuff’, but sadly they were not the right people at the right place at the right time – ingredients that go into making all of our careers a bit more successful in these random times. |

5 Men a day 7 days a week 49 weeks a year

|
| This is a portrayal of isolation, betrayal and sadness in the eyes of a former prostitute from Rwanda. Also meant to represent reckless exploitation exacted on the women of Rwanda. The title says it all - do the math and you will be surprised how far we have pushed them… |

Trends in religiosity

|
| Painting inspired by reading news about people seeing images of their holy icons on grilled cheese sandwiches. Perception of religious symbology being different from reality was also displayed when Hindu stone idols drank milk some years back.. |
