Kishore Sahoo
Being born in a village was the best thing that ever happened to me. The experiences in such a simple upbringing, the carefree nature of life and the independent flexibility in lifestyle has had a huge impact on who I am today. Animals, temples and nature hold a dear place in my heart and I often include them in my work. There is a bigger picture in all of my paintings and I showcase it through elaborate and intricate patterns. Sometimes I use deeper tones to allow the message to come through, and at other times I portray the idea through the facial expressions of my subjects. An art work can be viewed as a part of the artist's soul and they both combine to form the integral pieces of a puzzle which is synonymous with life itself. Nothing can communicate better than an image, especially when it has been envisioned and made with passion and hard.
