As I started to work in visual artI came to knowthe fact that aesthetic value of the Arts.Simplicity of the graphic;intencity of the colour in painting;volume of the object;space around sculpture ;structure of material

and room for installationwith message of concept.These thoughts do have differentinfluances on my growing sensitivity.I think over again and again;the source led to me to expose the processbut thoughts pull together with words.It is becoming poem of expression.A painting without medium.

Is it not plain canvas?or is it white canvas?These poems to realizeI must respect the real factsof my eternal solitude.

Moments of solitudeThat sparks in mindWhen one does to take care ofOf his own creativity.Silence of mind

And passing timeDoes not have won identityWhether someone take care

It stands front of the imageThat gives feeling of sparkingOf passing time.

Since 1975 I exercise in verious disciplines of the Art.

Printmaking in litho,silkscreen,woodcut;painting in acralic,oil,gouche,mixed medium;sculpture in wood,metal,perspexand in motion animation,video.I designed logos,symbols,books,calendars,advertising;displayed trade exhibitionsand art expositions in public places,art galleries.Trough all these years encountering the language


5/36

I have been writing poems, statements,essays;publishing them from time to time.

1985 BEING

I whispered into the ears of my resettled situation *Will you move around with me?

She says,Dongo along with meDont go away forgetting meI said,Silly!how will I forget you?You are my mother in a way

I become what I become with youLike a fish grows in waterHow can I afford to be confused?How can I forget you just like this?

The pain I sufferedWhile you witnessedMy eyes saw youYou made me from myselfThe excuse being beingYou ended my the ego of my self

I whispered into the ears of my settled situation,See!Today I can think

She says,Think.Think.Think!Weave your thread into a ropeThrow it up into the skyStand upon your own forehead

I am only an excuse.I am the witness of the good and the badYou are the one acts.

I roared into the ears of my settled situationToday I stand tall!She says,If you have become wild with desireCome,lick my body!

I am the black sootThat gathers when the flame diesWhen you witnessed the divine light


6/36

I was the oil lamp that burnedYou walk in your own place

By the Moon in your destiny.

I moaned into the ears of my uncertain situation,See!Your heat has scorched me!

I have been turned into a black Vithoba

I have come back after drowning my body inthe chandrabhaga river

I have no more desires leftShe says,Sit down on this brick!

Keep your arms akimbo.Suffer right hereThe burns of the flames of worship.

*The original Marathi word for situationis feminine.

Since 1978 I have been exhibiting visual works in publicAfter obtaining an acdemic education in Indiaand The Netherlands (Holland)exhibitions I have held in Euopean countriesand the Indian subcontinant.

During my professional experiencethe square and the circle have appeared in my

visual work and my poetry.Always I am fascinate on indivisual expressionand universal unique value.Whenever I drowon paperor paint on canvas,the form of square or circle appears undoubtedly.Why does it come more oftenly?Do they have any significanceof the ultimate outcome of soul or character?

Do they try to tell unkwon stories,unseen sights or an ongoing encounter of mysteries.Surely it has nothing to with dreams.The dreams are complitely differant.It is not surrealism.

Devotion of mankind bringsSuperior power in sight

In visual art the ultimate outcomeof the soul is the feelings of evolutionof many dimensionswhile artistic developement occurs.As it appears technique,theory,style and methodsof work are differentbut visual thinking lies on a certain layerof altitude-latitude.Developement of soul and visual senses gobeyond the birth of artist as well as human.Finding the path of ancestors is one way of history,searching identity of soul is a babylonia of languageand probeing visual sense is a nightmare of personality.Methods used to find out time and age

are archiological bibliographic and scientific measures.Methods of analyzing visual senseand sources of inspiration provids enough notionsto have an affair of visualization.Artistic expression is direct contactwith the fine senses of mankind.But the complexity of human sensesis much more complicated thanwhat science, psychology and history describe.

Everyone tries to solve problems withthier theory,method,style and technique.At the momentI would like to pay attention to the visual field.Art history and Theory has had explainedthe cultural evalutions and art developement of Art.

All the wordsBind togetherTo make piece

Of unseen lonelinesstranquil solitudeIn informative societyWords making the linkOf unknown notions.Sense never speaks outIt behaves behalf ofThe nature of body


9/36

That breathes me up.In a room of silence.Words keep companyOn the way of development.

The nature of mindAnd a kind of notionBring sense towardsCreative mind fields

The complex of light,form,dimantion,colourand perspective brings youto the impression of two-dimantional imagessuch as painting, graphic,mural.Film,video and animationare involve in motion also.

The graphical images are most of time,silhouettes of dimentional form.The simplicity of two-dimantional surfacesforms interesting graphic.Painting is more than graphic.Painting has direct connectionto motion of momentand graphic has much to dowith time and technique.Three dimantional visual formis confirmed thoughtof a well developed idea.Practicing these professionsis a matter of interest a person.Film, video, animationare more complex thought,theme and acesaries.

The theory of light is involved

in making film,video and animation.Painting,graphic,sculptureconcern in material theory.Theater and other performancecombine those methods.Choosing field of work isA matter of developed interest in a subject,knowledge and information come along.

CONCEPTThe concept

Every moment has its own noveltyWhen it fades out theres eagerness againSifting memories through a sieve

I have selected these remembrancesThat pop out like rosted grains of milletMaking the mind burst out with unbearable heat

Filling the hands with overflowing popped seeds

On every points of the lineTons of weight is laid

It wobbles when one bears itOnly sometimes one is able to balance itSmoothly and gracefullyThe road ends while one balances the line

While brushing many a colourStep after step the canvas widensGrows farther and farther,horizon-like

Footprints open up like flowerspopped seeds like blossoming pointsSketching a line along with timeThe white space of life

Is part of the concept

The concept of meetingand place of meetingmade history of mankind.The thought has never gone away,Where peoples meet,where cultures envolves,where colours merge,where victories celebrate,where disasters memorise

and where dead are burries.we remember by naming squaresplaces of victory diaster,death are memorised.Examples of twenteeth centuryare World War One and World War Two,immigation in India and Pakistan in 1947,the freedom fight of the African National Congress


12/36

against the appartheid white regim of South Africa,many central africian civil wars,Israel and Arab conflict,Iran Irak war,Latin american military power depressionsand the end of the century Kosavo crisis.The modern people who promised peace to the worldthey imposed war in Europe and elsewhere.

People are displacedbecause of those wars and disasters.This has been happening for centuries and centuries.Manmade decisionsand natural disasterare different in acceptance.Forced immigration has more to sayabout the evolution of mankind andnatural immigration has its own critaria.

Discussions of moving soulhave been started somewhere.Some know by history,someknow by their effects,some have seen in their life timesome have experiencedThis should make us think.

THE PAST

When I look at this beautiful pastI forget the time and the place where I am

A procession of events moves acros my sightI am luredWhen I wake

The distance between the surrounding world and meGoes on becoming more or lessBut the mind continues to linger only around this timeUpheavals

A gathering confusionA desparate longingAnd what an excruciating distanceBetween what is and what cannot beThe time is goneIt is now the sileceFollowing a rain of doubtsCurtains of secrets are being liftedTime makes its own movesandThe burden of fractions grows heavier.

Thoughts of this kind have never go awaywhile visiting so many cities in India and Europe.

Places are in the cities build under those circumstancesand squares have been formed after victories.All those cities,towns,metropolisesmake me believe that man made complexes of systems.such as townplaning, architecture,environments,monuments,civil constraction.These subconscious subjects has been makingindirect impact, wherever I have been.

Everywhere my own unique experienceheld to express a universal standpoint.Traveling by road one sees moreSeeing natural versalityand manmade complexes of unityone could Enlighten himself.After having so much experianceby traveling the senses were developing


14/36

and unknown references were also gatherig.I become a factor.An agent of unique value.The message become more sensetiveand assignment seems clear.Personally seeing human made complexesand natural versatility, together,those certain experiences,

I like to realize in visual form,from time to time.

this concept.Soul development and the souls journey ofself realization(Atma-darshan).Persuit of being is everlasting subjective path.This concept is only in the individualThe man and his mind,Whats its desire,what he believes,where he travels

and how he workswith that burden of belongings.There are so many considerable subjectswhich would conceive the form of complexity.Such as the logical developmentof immigration,traveling soul,

journey to an unkonwn destination,being strangebelieving in ones own destiny.

Between the divine power and humanTill the end of lifeThe cross stands for meeting places

working relationship of spiritCreative sense in life

And passing time in the journeyMeans decision making moments.

Traditionaly I am very much influncedby native culture and its purity.Many times I see visuals in poems,in the Abangs or other textlike a mantra and its,digram yantra.When I try to rethink the processsome visuals and forms appears clearly.Many takes place in two dimantions.as the process develops other dimension ad to it.

The medium decides.Creation reaches its final scene.It is indiscribble.Certain fractions of momentare hard to rememberin numbers.After several years of experience,I deside to take into considerationand write down honestly,The controversion within.Thats I always confront.

working truthAnd realityAre two sides of oneHeart speaks reality,working truth is busyWith high moments

Business is facing turbulence

Under circumstances of systemOne gets posteurize

And develop the substance of understandingWet become weightfull

A cloud of knowledgePouring within.

in visual communication fieldsand in civilized society.

OPEN UNIVERCITY

Wide open school campusWide open everything

Freedom within a limitsLike movement within a circleAnd the time-span of a journeyAround the axis of a wheelAround ones own fantasy of liberationAnd downtrodden fantasiesHow long can he go on like thisAdjusting the rhythms of his movementHow far will he age?How much will he wonder in his life

His age will come to an end with his lifeHis life will move around through his ageAnd they will recite,We move through life

I am finishing my cofeeFinishing this hourThis day of this monthThis life in timeOr is time swallowing up this lonliness

If you say so, I am finishing,As well as being finished,In this paradoxI am alone

Today I Impose this lonelinessUpon notes of music and singWill this become a melody tomarrow?Will it be accepted as a raga?

Or will it just be a short-livedPopular song from a movie?As a matter of fact tomorrowHe is bound to words and speechHas any one see himIn the company of today

Depending on tomorrow without reason


20/36

Today and tomorrowHave a love-hate relationshipLike that of an eagle and a snakeFramed within a contradictionMan Woman God

How my life gets entangledIn todays eventEvents raise themselvesAt high noonHair on body stand on their rootsUnrolling the epic of being heard.

Three times you turn to the left or the right,and you are forming a square.This is the natural process,as well as the understanding in alldevelopment of the soul.

I said earlier, the philosophyof making a nationof Indian society has gone in this direction.Peetha,ashrams, universities,schoolsare standing models of these pathways.In the formation of Shaiva philosophy,the quest of beingand the spiritual meanare to be realised by the individual.Psychic and cosmic understanding havedeveloped theories of self realizationin humans on the planet.What do you feel when you seethe light objects,stars?What difference do you feelwhen clouds are gathering in the skyand making a thundering sound ?What in nature makes you think dance?Which places in your surrounding scare you

enough to hide or run away?These and many more factsare the subjects discussed in philosophies.

Man is a spiritual travellerwhether he is a devotee or an athiest.He thinks over and over againhow to make himself blissful,


21/36

whatever means of devotion that makes him go on.It may come from within or any other source.

Here is nothing to hideAll the fields are wide openOn canvas and in spaceThey go surround and depth

Beyond horizonObjects are not known any more,Mist lays in between me and the object

Here is no colourNeither darkness nor brightnessNo feeling for medium or need to expressLanguage is not spoken hereAnd words are aliencoming to meet meWhat would they say?

It is just an ex

Time is meaningful bliss for him.So does he feel happy,joyfull.The social standard and family attachmentare further factors bringing himin the scene, toward society.But personal development is essentialin the development of society.Once you have developed your sense ofwhat you want to do and think,you mustwork it out.Somewhere a new beginning should take placeand it will bring you some how elsewhere,where you can look backand be amused by your own doing.When philosophies become tradition,society starts to arise.The question of differences within

develops the progress of generation.As one system grows old,the new impluse takes placeto think independantly.Alongside and within society,rules make you think appropriately.So does new thought take place.In tradition, practices are important


22/36

when they are accepted.Whether individual or collective,under these conditions,practices keep people boundto hold thier position in the society.Today all traditions are getting mixedwith different traditions.Modern media brings them together

to understand each other,but the followers of traditionsdisagree most of the time,so conflict is a growing intoa greater factor than ever before.Migrating people developedvery extreme life styles over the centuriesin various countries around the world.Considering the process of migration

and its opposition,the twentieth century saw the biggest turmoil.It has suffered two world warsand much ethnic cleasing.

you could have temper of high blown smokeAnd I could have angerOf blowing fire of burning fields of jungleTogether we make atmosphere dangerYou could have disturb silence

In underneath layer of oceanAnd I could have sinned solitudeInside flowing iceberg in the oceanTogether we create surrounding abnormal

I have heat to keep warmYou are deep enough to absorbTogether we make living desert

Clouds will rather gather hereThere we begin to gain rain

To solve the problem,state of conclusionbecame hatred of the nearest stranger;which everyone try to reduce.Every step towords to peace,


23/36

the new word of inner oppositionmakes me think.The depth of philosophies,traditions,religionsis not to measure in any conditionby individual.In every step of development of mindwould have first place than bodybut all theories of philosophies

come to cross point of multification.The reincornation is compitingwith the number/sankhya philosophynumbers are growing high.The soul population is higher than body.How many soul have got Mokshasince antiquety and how many souls have notand how many reincornet by each generation.The philosophy sets number

so it should be countable numbers.It is subjects to mathematician historien,who would to do search in direction.The soul are unnumberedbut bodies are countable.The numbers are highest yet in all Yoni.The unique frequencies are innormusebut the reputation of sound is on more high numbers,so many kind of examples are there .What would you think?Is there the brahma?Or is it karma of soul always in action.

In art change cameTime by time.Medium has been tranceformingThe developement of art.Since man began to interpretLanguage in visuals

Medium has been takingInterest on its own.Early age cave painting,Poetry,metal coins,stoneprintsAnd so onThese days architectureGraphic, ad design,film,Computar,television,Styles and isums.

When subject to change its mediumobject transform its aestheticBeside commercial value.Approch of thoughtsreached to its high ageOf applied arts.While industrial revolutionFilm, television,satelite,Virtual reality subjectsBegan in arts;Artist has developed interestIn specilising of subjectHe divided in sectionEvery section reachedAt commercial place

People goes to see the exhibitionIn museums,galleries,shoping centres,Tradefairs,open air places.

Each one have mixed impressionOf arts and its applicationSome have authenticitySome have aestheticOriginality of objectsCount on its function today.


32/36

When one does not know what tomorrow will bring,painting is for him like the fugitive vestige of a momentof solitude and silence. When one tries to think of somevitally important subjectIndeed, his painting is truly like some meditativerainfall, while the background signs and forms are likepredawn mist Painting of the period can not claim tobe anything more than meditations on the beginningsof a new style

feeling = senseheart = brainpositive = negativeAll dependable aspects could not separate in thesection of division. Space, surface and base have newdimension in abstract thinking Nobody is bound to thesubjects Expression freed from the surface towardsany kind of signs, forms, structure and materials etc.Paintings have many aspects, faces and facts, to

analize that which is not quite easy. Sensational brushstroke or sensitive line to put on surface and stop whenit is enough that is the great decision of art
