SOUTH INDIAN TEMPLES/SCULPTURES IN HIMALAYAN REGION SERIES NO:02

ARTIST NOTE

This painting presents a majestic Himalayan landscape, with a temple inspired by the architectural grandeur of Mahabalipuram set against the snow-covered mountains. In the foreground, a natural rock formation appears to reveal a fascinating collection of hidden forms. Upon closer observation, the rocks resemble twelve elephants, three figures of Lord Vinayaka (Ganesha), and the head of a bird. These forms are not explicitly carved but emerge naturally through the arrangement of the rock formations, creating an intriguing optical illusion. Through this painting, I have explored the relationship between nature, imagination, and perception. What initially appears to be an ordinary rocky landscape gradually transforms into a collection of living forms when viewed with greater attention. The work invites the viewer to pause, observe, and discover these hidden images, demonstrating how nature itself can become a canvas for imagination.

PROFILE

With 58 years of artistic experience, he is a versatile and accomplished artist, well-versed in a wide range of mediums, techniques, and artistic styles. His long and evolving artistic journey reflects a deep understanding of visual expression, craftsmanship, and experimentation. He has developed a particular interest in hyperrealism, contemporary art, and optical illusion painting. His approach combines traditional artistic discipline with innovative ideas, allowing him to continually explore new possibilities within the medium of painting. In recent years, he has focused extensively on optical illusion artworks, exploring the relationship between perception, perspective, and visual interpretation. As of 2026, he has created 106 optical illusion paintings, developed under four distinct categories: 53 Hidden Multiple Images (HMI), 51 Double-Sided View (DSV), One 360° Degree Painting, 1 Four-Sided View Painting. These works challenge the conventional perception of a painting as a fixed, single-view image. Depending on the viewer's position or angle, different images and visual interpretations emerge, transforming the artwork into an interactive experience. His artistic practice is driven by curiosity, observation, precision, and continuous experimentation. Although hyperrealism forms an important part of his contemporary practice, his extensive experience across different mediums and styles enables him to approach art without being confined to a single genre or technique. Through his work, he continues to explore how an artist can challenge the viewer's perception and transform a traditional painting into an experience of discovery, surprise, and visual wonder.
