"Certain experiences and subjects, themes and times leave their trace on the growth of a painter's works. My childhood spent in Eastern Bengal (now Bangladesh), and the special quality of those times and that environment, have remained an integral component of the nature and style of my paintings. The bonds that were forged with the earth, water and nature at large in my rural existence have endured to shape my paintings and artistic creativity."
