Rajesh Pullarwar is an artist who has trained at the Sir J.J.School of Art, Mumbai. A print maker he sees his creativity not bound by the traditional conventions and has experimented in the presentation of his works. Pullarwar sees print making as a medium just as another.?Pullarwar sums up his art making practice in the folloing words,"Taking an overview of this gigantic world from an entirely different perspective from space, where are we both (me and my work)? Nowhere! On this vast stretch of universe what is our identity- a micro beings resting on a huge strip, two drops of dew in ocean or two specks of dust on the earth. In this global scenario how does one discuss about me and my work; but I feel, in the process of evolution of human being, there should be a documentation of someone's ideas, thoughts and also the process as a part of analysis for the generation to come.?As an artist I do documentation of my ideas, thoughts and the process from which my ideas and thought flow to form a visual. According to me visuals thus formed is not a work of art, but a mere documentation of my feelings, ideas and thoughts. Enjoying the process of generating the visual are the work of art, but not visual itself. Visual is the document of that time."?The artist currently lives and works in Mumbai.
