Unfinished Business
Painting series
Unfinished Business Series paintings depict the enormously complex web of stories we human beings weave every day.
Every set of eyes and lips in the painting depicts an emotion; a mood. Each pair of faces has a story woven between them, multiply it with all the faces on the canvas and one has endless stories emerging from it. The stories of love, loss, sadness, hope, excitement, restlessness, envy, judgment, pride, ego, care, anger, fear, surprise, contempt and so much more, the meaning of the stories depend on the depth of one's perception of complex human emotions.
The way the faces fade into one another portrays how emotions do as well. Changing from one form to another, one person to another, one moment to another. It is a depiction of the transitory nature of life and a fleeting glimpse of how complicated we make it ourselves.
The sets of eyes and lips in the painting are mostly inspired by everyday people I see around me, during transits. Little do they know, we are all travelers and life in itself is a transit, it always comes back to the beginning at the end, and hence no matter what we do, no matter how strategically we lay out our cards, our lives will always remain an "unfinished business".
