Self expression is an instinct of human race which has differentiated him from the other animals.Man has always tried to communicate with others and so they have invented different ways of self expression.sometimes they have used sounds,sometimes lines and sometimes movements.In fact these are the ancient parents of human art and culture.Graffiti is an ancient practice of human beings by which they have expressed their need,their emotion, their protest and their frustration.Thus the walls which actually separates one from another has become a bridge which brings two souls closer by the lines written on them.Sometimes I feel that the human beings, who are not in the picture of the wall, have become the three dimensional form of that picture to tell another story which has more to tell than that which is written on the wall.Everywhere I love to see man–the common man.The human figures,their gestures and postures have always something to me like the graffiti.Being a camera owner I can only build a bridge between the paintings on the wall and beside the wall.And I have become surprised these two dimensional and three dimensional figures and lines sometimes create a symphony of colour, time and mood.I can feel I can touch those artists who have painted when my human objects communicate with them,unknowingly. My eyes do not remained dry or closed, when I visualize that shadowy line, where reality gradually blends with art to tell another fresh and contemporary story of love and languishment.
