Agni's Art

My artwork spans two distinct worlds: More recently, since my arrival in Miami, it has been an exploration of pure color expressed by a technique of blowing particles of ink and paint across the plain landscape of white and molding lagoons of water with my breath into stalactite shapes, that blend and dilute the explosions of paint. Some become minimalist stains that comment more on the whiteness

of the paper and others completely consume the white to leave a tantric tapestry that reminds me of submarine seascapes. I began to use bright and striking colors in a technique that combines my paintings and drawings with photographs, woodcuts, etchings and special effects; I call it digital engravings. My artworks tell a story which each spectator can develop from his/her own impressions. It begins to create a surreal world, which incites a revolt in logic and transports them to other dimensions. They are visions of parallel universes, although quite fantastic, comment on our cycles of life and death in a symbolic language with archetypes present in our contemporary world. We may not like uncertainty and unrest, but sometimes it is necessary to lose all points of reference and walk blindly to regain our sight. Art is an investigation of existence. To continue this voyage into Being, we must free ourselves from the refuge of spectator and dare step between silent and desolate edifices that rise above us, pulling our gaze into the earth and taking us with it. Now it becomes hard to distinguish between what is dream and what is real, I hope this artwork can be an invitation to awaken.
