Works during Lockdown period :
The impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic are still being understood, but it
does seem clear that this crisis will make a mark on cities, physically and
socially, that will echo for generations. How we plan our cities has always been
a reflection of prevailing cultural and technological trends and even major
crises.
Architecture controls my behavior with the design by understanding the way
that a building’s design can influence a person’s behavior, thus, modifying the
Individual’s mood and perception, whether the environment is natural or man-
made. All of the components of my painting resonate with a deep and prolong
impression of architecture which stirs my inner psyche. So do the Metro
Stations… which have been peppered with lonely weather-worn layers. The
erections linger like empty shells of their former selves. This rusting ghost
pedestals, forgotten clickety-clack of rakes and overgrown mosses are frozen
in time. They now stand like haunting reminders of livelier days, offering a
fascinating glimpse back in time, before they were left behind.
