WELCOME TO SUREEL ART SEASON 10

A Neutral Watcher Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 30 x 30 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Whenever I look inside, I feel a carvan of different desires, each with their own certain purpose. The desire for money, fame, security, respectability, love, peace, happiness, and so on. They all compete with each other and try to convince me to go their way. But mostly I ignore them, as I have experienced that no desire brings satisfaction but leads to another desire.

Competitive Desires Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 29 x 31 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Vienna, Austria When I look inside to know who I am, I see many different entities with competitive desires who appear on their own from nowhere, luring me to act according to them but not getting any response from me. They fade back slowly into nothingness. It goes on. Will my real self also appear in the same way? Let's see... Wer bin ich? #111 Konkurriernde-Wünsche Holzmosaik/Skulptur,

The Calm Listener Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 34 x 23 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Vienna, Austria In moments of relaxation, when my mind and emotions are not very hectic, I feel a quiet listener in me who goes on listening to the outer voices of others and my own inner chatter patiently but never responds back. It seems that it takes in all the sounds and dissolves them into nothingness. Who is this calm listener? Is it my real self? Who am I? Wer bin ich? #110 Der ruhige

Waiting for a divine touch from the unknowable.. Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 25 x 16 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Vienna, Austria While exploring my true self I realised that the world inside and outside me is vast and mysterious. It seems that in this universe I am the astral seed of which only a nominal part is known, a small part is unknown, which is likely to be known, but much of it seems ever unknowable. Will this seed know itself by sprouting with a touch from the u

I don't know. Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 36 x 14 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India While working on an artwork from the "Who am I?" series, a wooden piece fell down on the floor. When I bent down to pick it up, I saw a few plywood cuttings in the shape of a mysterious figure. I felt as if the figure was asking me, "Do you know who I am?". I laughed and said, I don't know myself yet; what can I say about you?" मैं कौन हूँ? #107 मुझे नहीं पता। वुड मोज़ेक/स्क

Hope Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 25 x 16 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India I was shocked when I came to know that the system I was born into was actually controlled by a few families. The education system, political system, priests, judiciary, bureaucracy, media, and police are all just their tools to make everyone work and fight for them obediently. The system is very clever. It transforms very efficiently all free souls into slaves who believe that they a

Achala (The Immovable) Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 27 x 31 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Everything that is in me and around me is in motion. The heartbeat, blood circulation, digestion, and the struggle of bacteria and viruses with cells—there is a continuous movement in my body. Outside, the wind, sun, moon, and stars are all in permanent motion. But amid all this enormous activity, I can feel something immovable in me. Who is it? Is it my real self?

Just a witness in the background? Wood Mosaic/Sculpture, 29 x 36 inches, 2024 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Each time I try to figure out who I am, I find myself divided into many parts. Each part of me has its own desires, expectations, and goals. Many parts are even contradictory to other parts. It seems like a mysterious maze. But sometimes, when I am calm and relaxed, I feel someone behind this beautiful maze watching everything silently. Who is this witnes
