Kamakhya

She danced and she turned,
She twisted and she burned,
She breathed and she swam,
Towards her inner voices...
To feel alive!

She visited her conscience,
And promised herself,
That, today she shall rise,
From the depths of murky waters,
To fight her blood thirsty demons,
And slaughter them...
One at a time.

Destiny

No, I wasn't high when I drew this. I didn't want to get high either when I was done drawing it. Also, through this art work I am not trying to connect or target the people who are high or are about to get high. Although, if they are able to connect to this then it's a completely different story! Yeah, I'm not high. Anywho, this art work is just an interpretation of the most obscure topic, "Destiny". 



Why Destiny? Well, according to me destiny is completely vague (maybe it's supposed to be that way, who knows?). 

They say that the day you are born, your destiny is created. It's apparently a pre-decided path. And so you sing Que Sera Sera and let the chips fall where they may. If you try to deviate from your path, you would eventually end up with the same result, the "pre-decided" result. Obviously, the deviation might cost you a lot, it may result into more paper work, emotional drama, self loathing, you know...all that jazz! It's like a dizzying roller coaster ride, with no end. The best thing that you could do is grab on to your seat and take a deep breath when it goes through that huge, nasty plunge. While doing that you also need to try your best to not to puke on yourself or on someone sitting besides you. That's just too much of a mess. 

Some say that you create your own destiny. So those guys may not agree with whatever I wrote in the previous paragraph. That's absolutely fine. Their concept also makes sense. You aim for what you want and you try to achieve it. It completely depends upon your potential and will. Most of the times you might get defeated by someone who is more capable than you but sometimes you'll rise like a dark horse. There will always be distractions from various onlookers. The question is, "How do you distract yourself from those distractions?". 

Don't ask me...I am not an expert! All this is very subjective. What you see is what you interpret. I derived all that from my art work. For you, all this may not even make any sense. That's absolutely perfect. Stick to what you see. You don't have to agree with me or try to get in sync with my frequency. What you have seen and interpreted is your reality and imagination. I don't want to cloud it. 

I would definitely be happy to hear about your opinion/interpretations.

Abstract

I am trying my hand at abstract art. According to me abstract art is the best way to express serious things in a simple or cryptic way. It can also be used to amplify the effect of basic, not so noticeable things. 

This time I used black ink to paint this. While I was painting this I didn't have a specific image or a concept in my mind. I just went with the flow, slowly trying to connect the dots to make sense of the entire picture.

I am not going to make it easy for you and tell you what this painting means. I do not wish to influence your judgement. I want you to look at it and come up with your own interpretation. By doing this I am not testing your intellect; I am just curious, curious to know and understand the various interpretations that can be derived out of this painting.
