When asked about his process, Amit explained, “Paper is not my love, it’s my passion. I believe that I’ve got some cosmic connection with the paper; it’s like a pure creation from the tree. When I started working with paper, it somewhere gave me an automatic direction to create something. The process became a fusion of the subconscious and conscious mind. My style is more intuitive, and it keeps on changing automatically, my focus is on creating a balance. Our ancient sages sat under the trees to meditate which ultimately resulted in their connection with the cosmos, so the tree or paper for that matter becomes important. When I see my creation on paper, I see my own ultimate creation. This is the profound connection I possess.”
His oeuvre finds constant inspiration in the tree’s magnificence, representing true greatness. The beauty lies in its ability to depict the harmonious interplay between the two sides of nature. It is a beautiful and magical sight. He demonstrates a remarkable ability to express emotions on the canvas through his art. Trees are a metaphor for the artist’s sentiments and aid us in comprehending them more deeply.

He deftly captures an array of emotions; utter despair to sheer bliss; sincere love to intense hatred; bafflement to ardent enlightenment. His unparalleled attention to detail and exceptional artistic abilities inspire individuals to delve into the depths of their own emotions and navigate the captivating and intricate elements woven into his artwork.
