All my paintings have people wearing some headgear that has a face painted on them. This depicts the 
double-faced nature of people. As we see in the most profession where one wears a uniform, like a 
policeman, a nurse, army personnel, or the Pope. One wears headgear to go with it as well.

To me, it is the depiction of the fact that we always wear a face that is different from the real one we have. 
It is like a face we have to put up to suit the personality we want to project which is always 
different from the real one.

For the past 25 years, acrylic colour has been the main medium for my paintings. After doing the line drawing on paper or canvas, a layer of acrylic is used like tempera o¬n it. Then slowly the subjects and people are given shape using more layers of colour. Since I use fast colour, it gives a definite brightness to the figures. My figures have a definite inspiration from Egyptian paintings, thus the figures are drawn in the same form, the clothes that they wear have long lines making them look taller and in a way Egyptian.
