Prabin's art is figurative and realistic, focused on the human form. His work reflects his current thoughts and energy, with no preconditions. Sometimes he has much to express in little time, other times, less to say with plenty of time. He enjoys exploring the structure and movement of the body. His figures are not historically or socially contextual, existing purely as forms without a defined origin or time. His approach is neither constructive nor destructive—it simply is.

I also allow spontaneity so that my art conveys an intensity when taste, temperament and technique coincide at the time of creation.
