Karnataka-based artist Rama Singh completed his diploma and Master of Arts from Karnataka University. He has recently showcased his latest artworks at State Art Gallery. He said, “I was interested in art since my childhood. While pursuing my schooling, I started reading books, magazine stories and portraits of polities and artists etc.

All of this, inspired and help me adopt art as my passion and profession. I am also inspired by nature and environment. For 27 years, I have been working in the field and also teaching art for children in Tumkur, Karnataka,”Sharing about his artworks, Rama Singh said, “I have displayed a total 25 paintings in the exhibition. My paintings are mostly based on the perspective of men and women.

I always want to create a beautiful fragrance between men and women. The relation between these two are very powerful; my painting show anger, revenge, feelings, emotions, attacks between them and also feature the destroying of bad forces with a snake in a hand. In another painting, you can see a man holding a sword and inviting a war. I have also created animal and lines through glass mark pencils.

I have used mediums like oil colour and glass mark on the canvas,”“I have focused mostly on men's dream. Men today, hardly dream not because he has lost the faculty for dream rather he is oneirophobia; he fears he is unable to fulfill his cherished dreams and keeps sticking to the beaten track lest he strays from the mainstream.

The artist in me does sometimes stand apart from the regular me and asks me to reach up to the extra-mundane which knows no bondage. Here, I stand inspired to express my real self in the canvas of the painting. In this artwork, you can see the predominance of the colour blue in my paintings. Intentionally, I used a surrealist background to capture this ethos of mine.” He relates.
