Primitive series


I was very inspired by a temporary exhibit at the museum of Primitive Arts in Paris last May. There were paintings from Indians from rural India, who created magnificent artwork out of cow dung and dirt, or a little paint and a stick. It amazed me. When I came back home, I created the following paintings...
