Title: Heart And Soul

My art is nothing but Lunatic's Ravings presented as visualized. The topic of the art is "Heart & Soul". I never attended any school of art. It WAS only at the 57th year of my life that innate power in me, to conceive and express through brush, WAS so developed, through blessed revelations, on deep study of philosophy of Khudi"(high-born creation of man) by Dr. Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), The Poet of The East.

I am of the view that our art can't remain original if we paint being present as nobody can remain immune to the presents around, with a present mind. The real creativity always has a Ravings base. It would be unjust to say simply "Ravings" rather its always "Lunatic's Ravings" but with extreme purity of mind--- that commensurates soul's purity.

Truly speaking its going with the unknown to unknown destiny leaving behind, in all its entirity, the knowledge you have, to have the knowledge you don't have. I must also add when we come to "know" we are bound to say we didn't know as our knowledge is a NULLITY before Reality. Such drowsings led me to many forms of matter undergoing the alchemy through life, as the soul does, that could be utilised as allegoristic/symbolic reference to place the results of such occurrences on canvas, for easy leap of minds to reach closest to the meanings thus expressed visually. 

While consolidating this artwork it WAS, once, thought that the detailed write-up should not be given with each painting (in the URL: http://www.ravingsart.com) but soon the mind WAS changed for the benefit of many. Since this all is a translation of philosophy of a great scholar, represented visually, it keeps ocean depth meanings. More in depth you dive, more the pearls falling to your lap. You have only to spare a little more of time and attention to be benefitted out of this presentation. But one thing is certain, you go through this artwork with zeal to fertilize your mind and soul once you will feel thirst, a lot, to go through once again, as the philosophy worths.
