PARAMPARA

The title Parampara is an Old-Indian word (Sanskrit) and literally means
an uninterrupted row or series, order,
succession, continuation, mediation, tradition.

State of mind.
I love to draw, I draw when I want peace of mind, pleasure or if I simply feel the need to draw.
In a way drawing is my sanctuary as faith is for other people, it's a method to reduce stress.
It's like a meditation generally an internal, personal practice and in this case with external
involvement that is the action of drawing.

In this series of drawings I chose to have a repetition,
in this way you can train your mind or self-induces a mode of consciousness.
While drawing continually your point of focus is clear and enables your mind to get to
an altered state of consciousness.

When you are in this state of mind you are not fully aware of the drawing it self.
And there for able to receive a form of automatic script that brings out forms
and shapes that you never imagined
to draw while drawing in a aware state of mind.
