Q. Tell us about Drawn to Life, the exhibition and the book.
A. Drawn to Life is about how an artist perceives drawing. Each artist has his/her signature style, which they reflect in their works. When I travel around the world, I make it a point to carry my sketchbook. Through my excursions, I noticed that each civilisation and religion was different from another. However, they always influence each other. For example — Buddhism spread from India to China and now, it has spread all over the world again. One can also see how any ancient civilisation, be it Egyptian or the Greek civilisation, has a certain degree of impact on one another.
