Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls
It is quite an impressive view walking up to these Falls. Although, there is a distance of three miles between the two falls, they appear as if they are on top of each other from this spot. In this oil painting by keeping the path at the bottom empty, and the environment quiet, I tried to make the waterfalls sound visible.

My art comes from my life experiences that I have had and emotional attachments I have made. The reason I choose to paint these images is twofold. First, since they come from my life, they automatically become my visual diaries. Every time I look at a painting that I have painted, it reminds me of the times when I painted it. It also brings back more detailed memories of those times. The feelings and the memories evoked are so strong that it allows me to time-travel back to the time when I painted it. Secondly, in each painting I try to go somewhere, where I have never been before. Let me explain. In the early works, when I was still studying various art elements the risks I took were with the parallel lines in the sky, or in the use of, unrealistically bright colors. Lately though, these art elements including art history are used in my works in more risky ways. They are churned in unusual ways, pushed to do something they (the art elements) have never done before. This results in the new images that neither camera nor real life can show you. I can honestly say that, these paintings are my true self-expressions and every time a new image is revealed to me I am intrigued and most delighted to share it with the viewers.
