CONFIGURED

Man & Nature are so well interlaced and intertwined with each other that they form a complete entity, which cannot be viewed by secluding one from the other. They should exist together, in a harmony and rhythm, to make for a perfect world.

The work of Art unravels the artist’s strong affinity for the natural elements and their relationship with mankind. The artiste, in his figurative works, delves into the vicinities of the human mind, and unveils the many intricacies and ecstasies of meditation.

The peace and content is apparent in the works. Amongst the presence of natural elements the human soul embraces the quiet meditative stillness in Shiva Kumar’s work.

The artist carves out his figures with a strong line, continuous and lyrical; it creates a symphony that cannot be overlooked. The artist’s strong hold on drawing grants the works certain strength and spirit that speaks for itself.

The many elements that appear frequently in the paintings like, fire, flowers, birds, etc, seem to blend into the human bodies very subtly and naturally.
