I wish my paintings would talk to the viewer as an intimate friend and not as a philosopher in the guise of a painter. I have always tried to present my paintings as simple and uncomplicated expressions of myself. No matter how strenuous it is to produce something that should look simple, I happily continue to do it with my expression and technique,' Ashok Bhowmick.
