Thanks Aditi..My only regret is that he has used very dark colours with very little contrast.The lighting has to be just right for the effect to show.
This is a very haunting work. You really have a good eye for art.
I think Art is created on the spur of the moment...the origination is by the artist himself...an impulse to communicate something.Like someone said...there's no such thing as Art...only what the Artist is thinking.Different people would interpret ...
Check out tulipomania on google search.I think you'll understand the similie.

- About Me
- What happens when you throw a stone into a pond?
Ripples are created.
Thats exactly what should happen in your heart when you look at a good work of Art.
The above (or something similar) was said by N.S Bendre to his students.
I am no expert in art....but I love looking at artworks and once in a while buy one when my pocket allows.I am always trying to look for inexpensive works which create the ripple effect in me.
I simply enjoy exploring this field.

Korean art buyers contacted all our artists who participated in our Jakarta exhibition through our catalogues and bought more than 70 paintings directly from artists. Catalogues will be printed only if there are enough paid entries to cover the cost of catalogues. Korean art buyers contacted our artists after getting all contact details from our catalogues. Many art buyers from Indonesia and Singapore have contacted our artists to buy their artworks directly from them.
Selected Artists contributing and participating in the exhibition will be put into catalogues free of charge.
Catalogues is the best option for sculptors / ceramic artists / Installations artists as it is expensive to take these heavy objects abroad
Highlights of the exhibitions abroad

We have sold more than 100 paintings so far in our exhibitions and in 2008 we sold 16 paintings and full amount has been paid to all artists.

2) All art buyers are encouraged to directly contact you from exhibition hall itself
3)If paintings are sold,100% amount goes to respective artists without any deductions-No commission to anyone including us.
