Mind.Over.Lust

​

is a series of abstract paintings created using different techniques, mainly acrylic on canvas. Many of them are large in size. We all have gut feelings, and we all conform to certain societal behavior patterns in the society we live in. As we are all part of society.

I believe that societal behavior patterns are influenced by our thoughts. However, gut feelings are not always tied to social norms. They exist in a different realm and often remain deep within us, as emotions without leading to action.

In my artworks, I try to explore the meeting point between these two aspects. Sometimes they harmoniously come together, but most of the time, they clash. When I do my art, I aim to spend as much time as possible in that space where rational thoughts and relentless desires intersect.
