Ephemeral Void – Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space)
Ephemeral Void – Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space)
The series “Ephemeral Void, Elements” is a captivating exploration of the aesthetic expression of the five classical elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space.
Inspired by the profound insights of Taoist philosophy, the artworks in this series seek to illuminate the fundamental distinction between organic growth and mechanical assembly. According to Taoist philosophy, natural forms are not constructed but rather grown, shaping themselves from within outwards. In contrast, man-made objects like houses, furniture, and machines are assembled from the outside inwards.
“Ephemeral Void, Elements” embraces the organic essence of growth and seeks to manifest it through generative algorithm art. Each element – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space – is represented in a mesmerizing abstract spinning animated particle video.
Through a fusion of digital manipulation, video, sound, machine, and code, these artworks synthesize the unique synergy of each element, showcasing their intricate beauty and profound connection to the natural world.

Ephemeral Void -Seasons (Summer, Winter, Spring, Autumn and Monsoon)
Inspiration from the profound power of Eastern philosophy and its deep reverence for the elements of nature, I have created a mesmerizing generative algorithm artwork titled “Ephemeral Void – Seasons.”
This project serves as an exploration of the aesthetic beauty found within abstract nature while also serving as a cautionary reminder of the ephemeral and ever-changing aspects of the natural world.
Through a process of digital manipulation of data, I have harnessed the synergy of each season’s unique nature color patterns, sound, machine, and code to generate abstract spinning animated particle visuals. By harmoniously integrating these elements,
I aim to evoke a sense of awe and contemplation in viewers, inviting them to immerse themselves in the mesmerizing interplay between art and nature.

Unhealed Wounds
The art and culture in this era of post-times, describe the kinds of hybrid nature of art. The hybrid or mixing cultural forms developed in the regions where the local identities seek definition against or in dialogue with western hegemonic cultures. This ‘terror’ cannot merely understand within the frame of political terrorist actions, but other types include psychic, criminal, and religious too. A negativity bias formed of an intellectual psychological warfare is widely carried out in our day today life. That is very silent and invisible. The immanent sublime (unpresentable) represented by the artists’ draws a dialogue on the impact of such terror which include disappearance, displacement, misplacement, extinction, consumerism, transgendering, migration, ambiguity etc. and makes alert.

Manifest Destinies
“Manifest Destinies” is a mesmerizing digital artwork that draws inspiration from Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s poignant poem, “Are There Not Still Fireflies.” This captivating piece has been exhibited at prestigious venues, including Beausoleil Cyberespace in France and Arte Città Amica in Torino, Italy, both in 2012. These exhibitions provided a platform for viewers to delve into the artwork’s profound themes and engage with its thought-provoking visual narrative.
The artist actively collaborates with Immagine & Poesia, an esteemed artistic literary movement founded in Torino, Italy, in 2007 under the patronage of Aeronwy Thomas, daughter of Dylan Thomas. This movement embraces artists, poets, and music composers who seek to explore the boundaries of creativity through moments of cross-fertilization. By fostering collaboration and experimentation across artistic disciplines, the movement aims to ignite new perspectives and inspire innovative artistic expressions.

Cognition Libido
In this thought-provoking artwork, the artist delves into the complex and universal phenomenon of inherent sexual desire that transcends gender boundaries. By exploring the intersection of human sexuality, spirituality, and psychology, the artwork seeks to expose and examine the primal and innate nature of this fundamental aspect of human existence.
Drawing inspiration from diverse sources, the artist incorporates elements from various disciplines to enrich the artwork’s narrative. The symbol of the Heart Chakra in Yoga, with its profound connection to emotions and love, serves as a visual representation of the underlying energy and intensity of sexual desire. Vibrant colors borrowed from Indian Tantric Art further enhance the artwork, evoking a sense of vitality, passion, and sensuality.
In addition, the artist references the philosophical term “Libido” coined by Sigmund Freud, which explores the psychosexual energy that drives human behavior. By incorporating this concept, the artwork invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between biology, psychology, and desire, offering a multifaceted exploration of the complexities of human sexuality.
This work of art serves as a provocative and introspective exploration of the universal nature of sexual desire, challenging societal norms and inviting contemplation on the powerful force that drives the creation of life.
Exhibited and Collected: The Kinsey Institute Art Gallery, USA; ISE Cultural Foundation NY, USA.
