About the artist Umesh Shebe by Anuradha Ajit

I have known Umesh, both as a friend and as an artist. Normally, one would see two different facets of a personality, one as an artist and the other as a normal mortal! In Umesh, you see just one! The artist in him is so well blended with his thoughts as  a human being for he ‘lives’ as he ‘paints’ !! Simple, down to earth, admirer of Nature, respect for women, sums up Umesh, which is reflected through the strokes of his brush as well. Umesh’s paintings truly inspire my creativity in writing! When he showed me his paintings that he was going to showcase in the exhibition, I volunteered to title and write on each one of them, and I assure that it was entirely my privilege !! From the entire lot, which is for exhibition, my personal favorites are: ‘Lead with a purpose’; ...‘And they call me Shakti’;  ‘The Emotional Tide’ and ‘Oh !Baa! Maa!’( the last one, not just because I am routing for Obama, to be the next President of USA…)

Umesh is holding the first solo exhibition of his paintings and sketches at  Alliance Francaise, Bangalore on the 1st & 2nd of February 2008, I wish him all the Best for his ‘First Solo’ and also wish him many ‘Take Offs’ and ‘Happy Landings’!! (that’s a pilot’s jargon for you!) BON CHANCE MON CHER AMI

Shokavinashaka ---Lord Ganesha (destroyer of  worldly sorrows)

Even through this maze of my turmoil, I see you My Lord…in all clarity, slowly eclipsing my grief ; now, I know why you are called ‘shokavinaskhaka’.

 



Rejoice in your work!

I set about with my day’s work with a song on my lips…for everyday is a new adventure, a new challenge!

 


The Lady with a quiet dignity.

No! Please do not pity me. I am not a victim of the world, but I am the Proud Breadwinner, with my head held high and bold!

         



The Silver Scales

My man catches these fishes in high seas & I hawk them You will not find them better elsewhere I assure sir, they are rare!!!

 



The Piscean Woman

Here I am, the true Piscean Woman…gentle, creative, compassionate, intelligent with wit….waiting to swim into wider vistas of wonder & excitement….

 



Lead with a Purpose

To lead you must follow---be an adventurer of treasures.

         



Negotiating Skills

The technique is the same- whether you are selling a fish or a corporate house!!!

 



The Aquamarine Bliss!

We, the Human and the Aquatic creatures share the same space as The Creator intended…..

 



My Child….My Grace….

The basket of burden that I carry overhead is lightened by the pleasure of carrying my child around my waist…

         



The Magical Whip

I swish the whip in colored frenzy, around my body. It is in this mindless state that I seek to entertain the crowd that surrounds me

 



Color My Soul!!

....With misty light in her eyes, her mind is like a ball of crystal from which she gazes out on Life in awe and bewilderment….

 



Seek Contentment

Small acts of kindness and warmth towards all creatures of the Lord influences everyone around us in much the same way that rings surround small movements in still pools of water.

         



A Waiting Promise ….

…..softly fragrant and feminine, with clear sparkling eyes, her features delicate and with a sweet placid smile, she waits for her lover…..

 



…AND they call me SHAKTI ???

Yes! I am ‘powerless’ with muted expression and sealed lips. Body and Mind held in bondage… Soul? Do I have one? If so, then it must be caged….

 



I listen to the music within me…..

After a day’s hard work, a good smoke is all that I ask of thee… Understand that Life’s greatest pleasures are often the simplest ones!!!

         



Pay Heed !!

There are no barriers that cannot be bridged through artful communication..!!!

 



I enjoy the Path…not just the Reward…

With each purposeful step, YOU are creating YOUR own path, moment by moment….

 



…& they also serve…

With poise and dignity, I sell my wares, for I know that, in my own way, I serve Humanity…

         



Patience and Me

I wait for the passerby to buy my melons, content with the thought that we are all here for a unique purpose….

 

 



The Edifice of Knowledge (the city library at Bangalore)

I stand here like a proud mother bearing the wealth of knowledge in the form of books and through them I help my readers realize that Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way….

 



Seek the Divine….!!!

I have no form or shape… You give me so, you can understand me…

         



The lithe grace of poetry in motion….

I move with speed, yet maintaining grace with breeze gently playing with my mane, Thus, I pursue my dreams…. (so should you, Humans!)

 

 



The Tapestry of Life

I ask The Lord, ‘What are you doing?’ He says, ‘Child, I am creating the wonderful tapestry of your Life’ ‘Remember, it’s the light and shade which makes the canvas of life….’

 



The Equestrian Moods- Emotion is energy in Motion….

The Equestrian legs, in the air…stubborn and unpredictable… kicks when its Freedom is threatened…..

         



‘Harness Your Thoughts As Well…!!!’

Harnessing your thoughts and exercising control over them is not as difficult as it might seem…

 

 



Nature is the very Crucible of Life…

From her warm womb so I emerge with gratitude on my lips that each moment of my life is a mystery and a miracle……

 



Cloud of Fire

The golden beams of the setting Sun sets ablaze the beauty of this land like a blushing bride with vermillion on her forehead and passion in her heart…

         



Rhythm of Harmony

From amidst the leaping flames, I spring cleansed and purified in my thoughts… My soul rejoices in this Celebration of Life…!!

 



The Emotional Tide…

Behind the lonely clouds the moon slowly showers her beams, gently bathing me and engulfing me in sheer ecstasy…. I rise and bow to the Creator and ‘am ready to delve into the Unknown & Uncharted water…..

 



Tranquility is more important that perfection….

The uneven mountainous terrain beckons this wanderlust spirit of mine. And I revel in its majestic beauty….

         



The Spiritual is Everlasting….

As I try to scale the mountain heights and grasp at the hold, the realization dawns that.. ‘You live ALL the days of your life.. So , don’t let it slip through your fingers…

 



Nature’s own comforting blend of Earth & Water

I bow my head with gratitude to be on this wonderful Planet.

 



Follow Your Own Path….

&&&& leave the World a better place….

         



The blossoming of the sapling….

Watching the young girl grow into a charming damsel or watching the tree grow from the sapling into a tall pine will remind you of the daily passage of Time and the cycles of Nature….

 



OH!! BAA!! MAA!!....

I am the ‘RockStar’…Yes!!! I have a message to convey and a mission to accomplish.. for a better counry and a peaceful world…
