STAR: You can’t open the website these days without reading about on the social
networking like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc . Where is this all leading and how
far is the artist in you been benefited?
ITMOY.T: The Internet is nothing new. It has been happening for many years. But FB and other
social networks do have helped me a bit in sharing my works and connecting to other artists. When I
get good feedback from others, I feel inspired.Also, I have benefitted with the interaction with others
and getting to know about a lot of things, which otherwise wouldn’t be possible But in my creativity,
I totally trust my intuition and my observation.
STAR:What is your inspiration for your series of paintings?
ITMOY.T: My next project also involves working with more different shapes and composition and
the banana tree is my inspiration.It never seems to run out my mind for creating various composi-
tions .
STAR: What obstacles do you face in
making and exhibiting your work? STAR: What mediums do you work in
and why?
ITMOY.T: I do not face much of obstacles ITMOY.T: I love to work with water colors
as they do not pose any danger to health.I dis-
like oil. This will surprise anyone who knows
my preferences in paintings. I love the detail.
Lots of it! For years, my port of motto has
been painting the Banana tree, that looks like
they live and breathe.
because most of the people have liked my
works.My works are almost instantaneously
sold out and I have many collectors in this
world from various countries. I keep on paint-
ing in my leisure and it is a continuous pro-
cess.But it’s that immediacy, I think, which
allows the artist’s experience, in that place, to
seep into the artwork itself.My artworks get
sold as soon they are created.
