Jay Kumar Arts-Home
Welcome to my profile.
My name is Jay Kumar. This portfolio is my attempt to document and organize my creative output from the past and ongoing into the present. My favorite media are oil paints on canvas, and graphite pencils on paper. I am also beginning to diversify into using colored pencils and digital interfaces such as drawing on an iPad. I am deeply interested in mythology and ancient legends of gods and goddesses, and worlds populated with mythic creatures. I am also interested in the human figure and a lot of my work is figurative in the form of portraits and figure studies. I am also in the process of diversifying my repertoire and vocabulary so I am turning my attention to other things a such as animals, plants and still life. I am also a photographer and most of all I enjoy working with models to serve as references for my portraiture and figurative work. I am also turning my camera to look at other things such as landscapes and other subjects around me. As you can see all of this seems very unfocused and unsure, but nonetheless it is an enjoyable journey with an unknown destination. Hopefully you will enjoy coming along for the ride.
