I thought I touched the sky

I THOUGHT I TOUCHED THE SKY

153cmx91cm 60”x36”) Oil  on canvas, 2021

As a child, climbing on a pedestal with stick in my hand from the terrace of the house I would try to touch the sky and think it is just a little farther. May be if I were a little taller and the pedestal was higher, I would touch the sky. As one grows up, one realizes that sky is always higher. One has to rise on a different plane – spiritual rather than material and to reach that plane one has to go through all the complexities in life and build a strong foundation of moral values and principles like the complex network of engineering services that strengthen the sky-scrapers from below.
