"National Fine Art Award " winning painting


"National Fine Art Award " winning painting in Contemporary Art Category during National Fine Art Exhibition hosted by Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, Nepal Art Council, Kathmandu, Nepal on April 20th 2016


Artist's Statement
Entitled ' The Reminiscence ' is the painting, which i started after some months of the Earthquake that hit Nepal in April 2015. At that time I felt the experience in life like a thread in between the death and life and i remembered the image of the GOD but felt the absence of it in such a crucial situation . As i read a statement  in a newspaper that "god is already in the pity, so what about the human being " stated by a EQ victim, I thought the GOD is also in helpless situation and lost the power to save the human beings.

During the process of the painting I started with doing some sketches and drawings and finally polished my idea to do this composition on a large scale of the canvas about 5 feet by 6 feet.
As usual and depending on  previous series of my paintings. I composed it with the motif of water boat as a symbolical representation of life over the liquid of death.And i take the main motif from the sculptor of ' Avaloketeshvara' as symbol of the ' The Protector of The World' and composed it in the middle of the boat as a symmetrical composition. I have painted the background in the textural effect of the bitter guard (TITE KARELA) to show bitter moments surrounded by us and the wave of the life. The couple of pigeons stands for the symbol of the innocence and stiff part of the life.
