“My preoccupation with paintings is to make an attempt to relate my subjective experience in relation to my surroundings and situations. A serious attempt to understand the feeling of the void within me set me thinking about existing reality. A dematerialized human form became the protagonist in the quest of understanding the metaphysical reality around me. The individual figure in my work tries to express the states of mind. A mood of non-involvement is deliberately created so as to offer the viewer the critical distance to watch the mental landscapes contained within, in order to understand the very centre of being,” renowned artist U. Vijay Kumar explains on his decades of artistic journey.
