To me love is the one unchanging reality and Radha - Krishna are the greatest lovers ever and I am inspired by them. The most interesting thing which I want to create in my painting is the feelings and the mood of Radha - Krishna's faces and forearms. I like to keep Radha - Krishna's faces white to depict that when some fall in love they feels happy and the glow of this happiness reflects on their faces.
