Present Tense Past Perfect - Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 36 Inches

I think we all have the 6th sense, an ability to perceive something which isn’t actually there. It could be a song or food or a conversation that takes you to a place in your past where you feel the air, the smell, the sound, the view, and the taste. Isn’t it fascinating to reminisce about something that has been deeply etched into our hearts and minds? There is no need for a time machine to relive those moments. When the time is tense, just turn on the sixth sense and transport to loving memories. When I don’t get to travel (like the days during the lockdown), all that I do is revisit a memory not just visually in my head but completely feel it. This is the real deal for me. It is such a natural thing for all of us to soak in the past and on a Thursday post nostalgia-inducing pictures (videos now!) from a different era in our lives. Throwback Thursday. #TBTWe are often caught up in a fast-paced, ace the game, work hard, party harder life. It is good to pause and get carried away by the highlight reels of the past and that is one solid inspiration for a painting.

PRESENT TENSE PAST PERFECT is part of "Keeping it real" collection

Keeping it real is all about managing everyday emotions, being vulnerable, and thriving in simple pleasures. By doing so, we come across as authentic, who do not follow cultural norms but strive to develop a norm that is centered on peace, passion, and, full of life. Through this collection, we lift the voices that challenge social traditions, and gender dynamics and replace them with a new narrative that offers possibilities for every woman to live life king-size.

“My everyday lingo is millennial lingo. I am drawn to using new phrases and words that reflect our millennial culture. I like how casual it is and at the same time sending the messaging across… #TGIF #FOMO #YOLO #TFW #TBT #ATM... Every painting in the Keeping it real collection is inspired by millennial hashtags”
