Sitting in my studio at home I would go over all that I had learnt and seen; that process of thinking things through opened my eyes to the tremendous amount of visual material available in my immediate environment, which I could use in my art…My efforts to come to grips with the aesthetic issues involved in painting the Indian city focused mainly on the role of space in pictorial organsiation.’ – Nandini Goud rpt. in Nandini Goud Selected Paintings and Graphic Works The Guild Art Gallery ExC. 1998.
