I am writing this blog to clarify few things about my drip paintings or sometimes I call this technique "NO-Touch".
Today I went on my youtube channel and read the comments on my video named no- touch painting. it has 30,000 downloads and around 11,500 viewings. There were many critical comments on the video regarding the "originality" of my work (this does not offend me as I believe everyone is entitled to there own opinion). and I am credited with notion that I copy Pollack. However, to be fair, I never claimed to be original, I said and meant that it was a new approach.

Jackson Pollacks paintings are abstract. I am claiming that I developed this technique to another level where you can actually paint a picture or a portrait (see my first portrait of "Gandhi "that I made many years ago using this approach and compare with Pollacks abstract drip painting, this will give you an idea what i am really talking about). Many people said that my work was of Pollock's origins and therefore was a used method of painting.

The paintings above are Pollock's work. They use the same drip painting technique that I use but there is a minor difference. . .
This is one of my early works, portrait of "Gandhi" painted in 2000. It took me good 12 year of practice and hard work to be able to paint like this, simply by throwing paint. Art has provided me with means for the spirit of freedom. And this freedom helps me find my identity as a person. I want to put enough effort into the projects I do to increase my own potential as an artist. I have put many hours simply challenging myself. It symbolizes the struggle that needs to exist for Art to progress at higher levels.
