“My quest has always been to capture the fleeting footprints of light on objects, no matter how ordinary they may be. The works on display on this show are a continuation of that search.

“If I were to look back on my long innings as a photographer, I will admit I am most comfortable when I am in a position to let my imagination ramble free and take me to wherever they will. I enjoy playing with light and exploring the limits of form, colour and texture. The end-product sometimes surprises me, for light is a master painter. Objects get transformed by its magical touch. I try to capture those moments for you.

The ongoing exhibition has a mix of colour and abstract compositions, says the artist, “Every work has a special place in my memory, an association of joy and happiness, if you will. It is this joy that I want to share with you.”
