Indeed, he senses sway and the tactile dominates as he contorts and swils his images, creating movement of man, animal and nature. Tempera creates colous of high opacity and richness, while fluid transparent layers develop into fine drapery, water effects and limpid lotus leaves.” – Rupika Chawla, rpt. in Amit Ambalal, ExC, Gallery Espace, New Delhi, 2000.
