"To seize the absolute in shapes that pass,
To fix the eternal's touch in time-made things,
This is the law of perfection here.
A fragment here is caught of heaven's design;
Else could we never hope for greater life
And ecstasy and glory could not be."

From Savitri, by Sri Aurobindo

To write a life story authentically is almost impossible. Each and every happening and event that takes place is a step towards inner transformation, transforming us and bringing us to be who we are now. And now is never-ending.

My paintings are not different from what has touched my life. As my seeing and understanding of life has changed, so has the stream of energy that has entered my paintings.

The connection to the source of light is a connection to the truth of being at the given moment, thought and experience.

Creativity and the life force are from the infinite source and reveal the most noble in the soul, bringing a longing to transmit it to humanity.

As I recognize consciousness as essence, and this essence as the light and love of God in us, for me life and art can only be an act of sharing for the benefit of humanity. My art is a service for all, not for some specific country, religion, culture or nationality.

I can see the One in all and the all in me. Reality on earth is what our perception is. It is in our hands to use the gifts we have been given for the good of our beautiful planet and for the recognition of divine beauty in us.
