Your achievements (which you are proud of):
My creative art also stands on this ground of thought and feelings. I feel this very thought is the perennial source of my creativity. Thus, in the canvas of stateliness and thoughtful – configuration, I paint the new tune of creation with deep emotional feelings. Whistling the uncountable tunes of life with the layers of colors and different colorful lusters, I feel blissful forgetting my own sufferings while creating the art composition on the canvas. I achieve the figure of creation in the canvas by getting through the uncountable sides of my life using the different colors in the composition. My creations of art try to search out the innumerable realities of society by composing the reflection of my society and time. I feel like to see the honesty and devotion in the art and also feel like believing wisdom should be felt in the creation.
