The verdant vistas of Surya Prakash celebrates nature in its full splendour.
Surya Prakash: “I dream in colour: vibrant and lovely.
“What captivates me is the rhythm of colour in nature. Each hue, shade and intensity. I let my eyes sink into the allure of colour captured in balance. I develop different colour schemes – translucent, opaque in concert with content and form.
“I start my painting by splashing diluted paint, using broad brushes. I keep overlaying colour in stages, one layer at a time – until I realize the image surfacing through my imagination. Then I render the desired imagery with pointed brushes and precision strokes. I believe in part and the whole, each melting into the other, creating a mélange. And the end result is an abstracted reality…”
Surya Prakash paints images of nature-percolated through his mind. In a way, they are so many mindscapes of beauty and wonder.
