"Painting for me is an impulsion. My imagination reflects in my work and gives me the satisfaction of achievement and the inspiration live. The thematic world of mine is a blend of both reality and imagination. The interaction of reality and imagination is the concept of my painting. The link of understanding between the world and man is expressed in a silent relationship. The man and his shelter, his perseverance, the urge and eagerness to attain his mission, the awareness of the universe, his loneliness, depression, the struggle for existence, fear and death are the eternal consciousness that throw reflection on my painting.
Basically I love drawing. Application of too many colours is not found in my paintings. The real subject matter is depicted in them. The medium of my painting is water-proof ink, earth colour and crayon which I usually use on Nepalise hand made paper."
