Mastering Maya

Artist Pankaj Mohan Agarwal believes in philosophy of Maya. And his latest collection of paintings also carries the same concept.
Predictably titled as Maya, the series consists of a range of large and medium-sized canvasses that depict this intricate philosophy extremely well. The artist has used five colours symbolising the five elements of life. ���Since life revolves around Maya, so the worldly pleasures continue to deviate the lives of people from real spiritual gains.But rarest of individuals try and escape from its trap and understand the real meaning and purpose of life and attain moksha with help of a Sadguru,��� says Agarwal, explaining his concept.
Agarwal���s works got huge amounts of appreciation from art lovers and serious critics alike. ���The best part of Pankaj���s paintings is that each canvas portrays the various reasons that entangles a person in Maya be it wealth, women, love, sorrow or happiness,��� said a visitor to the exhibition, Anshuli Bhand. A large number of youngsters had turned up at the exhibition, thus indicating clearly, that the younger generation is attracted to art and things cultural.
