Painting and sculpting since my childhood.

I try to achieve "Less is more" from my art. Hence you see the use of minimum colour hues and tones in this painting "Does God Exist?"
Experimenting with sculpture. I work in Bronze, terracotta and Ceramic.. My fingers feels like a child when working with ceramic clay. Also I give importance to the basic drawing and achieve maximum impact.
