Artist Mahirwan Mamtani who is a representative of Neo tantric paintings will be delivering a talk wherein he will cover his spiritual work through 50 years of art on January 22 at Museum of Goa, Pilerne.
Mamtani's works begin with mandalas as a starting point and the results of this are called as centrovisions. The background of his paintings consists of molecular structures floating in the atmosphere, the so-called “orbs”. This transmutes the body thus a fantastic world of thought takes shape and opens the doors into a hidden world.
He translates his paintings into wooden marks which he often wears thereby adopting a new identity. This is grouped together with dance which he videographs and photographs and thus uses as a template for a new pictorial.
His dabbling with this form of art led him to Europe in the 1970s where he joined the Swiss group 'The Spiritual in Art'. He has since held world wide exhibitions in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow etc.
