Mohammad Ali Bhatti

Painting for me is like composing a symphony; color, textures, forms and shapes are my instruments of creativity. I am drawn to the energy around me, intuitive responses to variable sounds, melodies, rhythms, textures and tunes of Indian classical music that I listen to in my studio when I am painting. The process is completely organic and spontaneous; however, I approach the canvas with an idea, concept, or theme inspired by mysticism, socio-political issues or a significant occurrence in life around me. I tend to blend sounds and the seen world in my paintings; heightened by color, shape to communicate the story that I try to tell. My abstract paintings encompasses the visual interest with interplay of small and large shapes, multiple layering of contrasting colors, appearance and disappearance of abstract elements through the floating forms.
 
In my latest series of paintings, I am inspired by the metaphysical concepts of the nature; I have attempted to reveal an inseparable notion of the origin of mankind, its roots and the chaotic conditions in the modern world. Divine beliefs and principles are seemingly contrasting with the contemporary theories of revolutions. In my paintings, manifold layers, juxtaposition of exotic forms, and chaotic interplay of absurd shapes, signs, and symbols generate movement and energy reflects a similar connotations in my paintings. My ultimate goal as an artist is to create something unique for the viewer to ponder upon the visual interpretation of the contrasting concepts while expanding their imagination.
