My self Grishma Pankaj Mali was bron at Kurundwada,
on August 11, 1996 but my childhood was spent at my native place Ichalkaranji.
I was always passionate about painting right from childhood and at last after
10thstd, I got my freedom to nurture my passion of painting and I took
steps towards development of my art and for that I took admission in Pune’s
‘Kala Mahavidyalaya’.
Painting has its own individual
existence and life. Artist struggles to input the emotions; give a particular
form to each creation. Likewise I too painted various forms in my paintings,
but my inner spontaneous desire germinated as the creator of erotic images or
sexually provoked bodily reactions, I began to probe deeply into this subject
to know more about it. I tried to bind sensitive and voluminous lines in my
drawing by studying and cogitation of source code of bodily enhancement and
development, its rhythm, movement, harmony, muscles and arteries. My creations appear
to express my views. If ever I think of any relevant medium for my creations
then I feel I am only the closest one to my paintings because my thoughts,
incidences that happen around me and my experiences form the subject of my
work. Environs around me prove as a booster to my subject. Also, my friend Kapil
Alaskar has been helping me in every way. While discussing work, we both always
agree with each other’s views. Since, I have always trodden on the path that he
did, stepped on his foot marks, he has made me understand many important things.
Many a times he became my comrade, wherever the need be, he becomes my Guru
(teacher). And he is always there with me to live and make me enjoy bounding and art.

I create my artwork by taking into
consideration the fact that a body can express so much by gesticulating and
even by remaining potential. I keep this theory in my mind and therefore my
artwork changes according to the changes in my life. The routine life and its
experience was not enough for enhancing my subject, so I had to create more
romantic temper in myself and I realized that showing erotic or romantic images
gives liveliness to the creation. This makes the observer understand my images
and my vibes stimulate him/her. This
effect of liveliness started being effective only after the live experiences of
reality poured in the artworks.

Nudity and romance in my paintings and
artistic advances cannot be adored by applying scholarly mind to understand
them, but can be appreciated considering it important as an individual
experience. Its taste, touch and essence have to be relished gently. My
paintings shape up naturally by savoring this taste.

As I progressed in developing my
subject, I could feel variations in the images, in the sense vision was
developing to search and find clitoris in the painting. Along with it, the
experiments done on myself made me use images of my legs because there were and
are movements in it and by amalgamating some fruits and their texture I created
a human body and thus, formed my images. There is one common association and
that is, the body fuzz or hair on the body, which is common between the both,
human body and fruits. This is the only common association in my paintings.
As I felt the need to be different, in
some images I presented male and female in individual romantic mood and
gestures to enrich its beauty. Some lines or images in these paintings can also
be presumed as my own feelings.
