4 Elements of Life (water, fire, earth, air) was an art project I initiated in late 1970’s. At the age of 19, I wanted explore the remarkable function of the Elements! In the process I developed a special bond with water, which seemed to have a distinct place among the four. This marks the beginning of a very long artistic engagement with Water – the first element!

My several life-changing journeys along the historical Silk Road had remarkable impact on my art. I travelled with my backpack to sacred Hindu and Buddhist sites in many countries. There I became fascinated with the coy fish, a familiar scene in and around Southeast and Fareast Asia temples. Their vivid colours and harmonious group glides were soothing. A few crumbs of bread and, in an instance, the harmony turns into chaos. Coy gradually found an increasingly prominent role in my paintings. Water personifies creativity with no boundary. It is a transforming agent for me.
