My primary area of practice for the past two years has been landscape. I've started playing with colourand form in landscape images. I use my visual diary, creativity, and experience to create drawings and prints. I combine two elements, one of which is a fuzzy image and my present mental condition, and I frequently play around with different kinds of light.
As I am shifted from Surat to Baroda, leaving my home, my routine, I had faced problem with composition and imageries and so I had continued my practice in Landscape and stared with some photography of landscape taken by me in my recent trips to dang and pavagadh. I was doing naturalistic work but slowly I realized that I am not really satisfied with that images and composition as that doesn’t really shows what I am feeling with that, that is just representation what others see too, not what I feel or I see, As there is not any strong relation of that with me , I really want to go beyond naturalistic and more towards expressive feeling with landscape, I am struggling now with more image making, I don’t know whether I want to add elements or remove it. Sometimes I want minimalistic images with just colors and shapes that derives feeling.
Viscosity medium of printmaking helped me a lot in achieving such effect which took my work on another level. It gave me opportunity for exploring colors in my work and different effects with its relation to colors
