‘Beyond the parallel’ is a series of abstract expressionist artwork which welcomes us to explore beyond the limits of obvious. It expects us to look at things from a different perspective and embrace the non-present and unexpected. While the strong geometry and colours of the art portray a rigid aesthetic, the revealed philosophical message behind them imparts the softness and human connection. This can be perceived in artwork titled ‘uncertain doors’. His painting expresses the thought that when door closes another opens but in our regret we have unnoticed these doors and many a times do not recognize if it is an actual door, or the direction and the path it leads to.

The used medium in this series is acrylic with some examples of paper and acrylic collages.
