Footprints in the Mud

To Balaji, paintings are more of an expression of thoughts, memories, events, ideas, beliefs which are conceived by your mind during your regular days. In every series, he tries to narrate a different story. In the current series of works, he talks about the issue of migration particularly the urban journeys people take in hope of better life and possibilities. It also is a comment on contemporary times where hatred and differences are systematically taught and generations are growing with venomous thoughts about purity and pollution. The existential dilemmas impoverished people caught in the no-escape situation of nauseous discomfort.
