WELCOME TO SUREEL ART SEASON 7
The search to know myself is again at the center stage of Sureel Art Season 7. While creating each new artwork, I witnessed new facts about myself. I feel that it is becoming easier to see the patterns of my own thoughts, habits and emotions. Maybe the artworks from this season 7 can help you to know more about yourself too?!
In this season, I also started a new series based on the mysterious Parshvanath Magic Square. This magic square is engraved in a granite slap and embedded in the wall of a 10th-century Parshvanath temple in Khajuraho, MP, India.
I hope you will enjoy the messages that Existence expressed through me in this season.

Lost in Comparisons! Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 25 x 29 inches, 2022 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Most of the time, I go on tagging and comparing people, animals, birds, and things around me. Good, bad, beautiful, ugly, simple, strong, weak, and so on. But the whole exercise of comparing things brings nothing. At the end, the tags, definitions, and comparisons are not able to give me an understanding of anything. Everything remains a mystery. And this is the sam

Known, Unknown, and Unknowable! Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 25 x 26 inches, 2022 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Whenever I close my eyes and start looking inside myself, I encounter many complex thoughts and emotions. They seem to appear suddenly from nowhere. If I try to understand them, I understand a very tiny part of their existence. Most of them remain unknown, and they suddenly disappear again into nowhere. Again, new thoughts and emotions appear. And this goe

A Stanza of an Eternal Song? Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 37 x 37 inches, 2022 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Who am I? What is my life? Just a stanza of an eternal song in this vast universe? The poetry of eternity, or Dhur ki Bani or Mool Mantra, is there, very tangible but written in an unknown language! It's beautiful, and it's sweet. It's musical and rhythmic. Its shape is like a fragrance. It touches the heart but can't be understood. The message from beyond is

Just a Throbbing Seed? Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 23 x 27 inches, 2022 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Many times, while observing myself, I feel that I am still a seed, cracking and throbbing, getting ready to bloom.

When one's life is sheer joy. मैं कौन हूँ? #66 बस एक धड़कता हुआ बीज?

The Unknown and Unknowable! Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 26 x 26 inches, 2022 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Whenever I look around me or at myself, I see a lot of physical, mental, religious, and technological development that has happened.

The paradox of "I" and "my real self"! Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 37 x 37 inches, 2022 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Who am I? I really don't know.
