Between Spaces

The common comprehension of space is a void more or less contained by inherent or architectural constructs. This is the arena where life unfolds and gives it the character. Space may be bustling with festivity or silent with prayer; sacred with rituals or profane with chores; expectant with hope or bleak with despair. These are spaces that we forever associate with. Beyond these physically comprehensible spaces, there are also spaces that remain in the realm of the metaphysical, which are in-between the sacred and the profane; the clamour and the silence; the light and the dark.

As an artist, I portray the experience of comprehensible spaces from life as well as the incomprehensible spaces on the canvas. Few of my paintings bring to life everyday life unfolding in tangible spaces while others manifest the intangible spaces that cloud my mind. Some paintings show the built spaces animated by us but the others represent the un-built spaces and evoke their in-between mystical character.
