Practice

In Integral Perspectives, each canvas begins not as a fixed surface but as a living question. I rotate the frame, shift its horizon, and let orientation itself become part of the inquiry. This act of turning—of refusing a single vantage point—mirrors the complexity of perception: how truth reveals itself differently depending on where we stand.

The works are drawn in layers and painted over and over, as if memory itself insists on revision. Each stroke carries remnants of the previous one, shadows of decisions unmade, and whispers of forms yet to emerge. This process is not about covering but about revealing—allowing what lies beneath to breathe through what comes after.

The series speaks to the principles of art in quiet, almost meditative ways. Balance arrives through shifting symmetry and asymmetry, a reminder that harmony is dynamic, never static. Emphasis finds its place where a single mark pulls your gaze, echoing the way a single moment can alter an entire life. Movement guides the eye along fractured angles, suggesting the rhythm of thought and the pulse of experience. Through repetition and pattern, memories recur, familiar yet transformed, like cultural heritages reinterpreted across generations. Contrast—between light and shadow, texture and smoothness—holds the tension that gives form its vitality.

The title, Integral Perspectives, points to an aspiration: to hold the inner and outer, the spiritual and material, as one continuum. My Indian roots and Auroville’s living ideals infuse this series with a sense of unity-in-diversity, while global contemporary expressionism offers a language expansive enough to hold contradictions. The works invite viewers not to look for answers but to shift their seeing—to feel how perception itself is layered, rotating, and ever unfinished.

In these canvases, there is no final perspective—only the integral dance of many.
