"Viewers should feel the pulse of nature through my paintings - that indeed is my target. When I try to analyse my basic creative urge I can clearly see that its main ingredients are derived from nature. Although built on the basis of personal visual experience, perhaps they have some similarity to Guler Paintings. it is fact that nature is born out of nature and one can paint landscapes only when one is inspired by nature.
I study nature in its varied forms of growth trees, shrubs, plants, flowers and fruits. I draw their shape in a manner to have rapport with their soul clearly."
