COMPULSIVE DOODLER

I am a #compulsiveDoodler who just loves Doodling. The free-flowing unstructured repeating patterns slowly evolve into a meaningful design. Given time, pen and paper, I am bound to Doodle. It is meditation to me.

Doodling, unlike Mandala and other art forms, does not have strict grammar. It does not believe in Perfection. It takes life as free-flowing and is comfortable with an unstructured approach. I experiment with Mandala, ZenTangle, Sacred Geometry and Tantra symbolism from the shamanic world in my doodles.

I am open to commissioned work. It can be a free-flow open structure, objects, heroes, mythology, tantra, projects, services and even signatures. To commission an assignment or buy available artwork original or print, do send an email or connect on Twitter S_kotnala.

Why black and white?

That’s a good question. Why Black and White when we live in a world full of colour? Colour is natural to life. However, by wanting to do most of my work in Black and white, I want to look at it differently- away from reality. It is beautiful as it represents the duality of life. It asks you to stand and take a call a decision, a side. Removing colour makes it tough- as limitations and constraints get imposed. There is that much you can do when you limit the playing medium. However, it not only pushes the artist to focus but also makes the audience look at the other elements and composition.

ESSENCE OF LIFE. (Not Available)

I first visualised ESSENCE OF LIFE in my dream and it left me with a hazy memory. The first two attempts did not do justice to the concept. I then went for the induced LUCID dream and saw what my subconscious has been pushing me to see. In my third attempt, I managed to come near to what I had seen. It has given birth to a whole book.
