There are so many lives, so many faces in this one artwork – I know this may sound like just something one says but to me it has a very special meaning representing a real experience I once had One sunny day in the mid 80s in Pokara Nepal.  I sitting on a grassy hill side with Ray. We were chit chatting when all of a sudden superimposed on 3D reality another timeline bled through and in a very distinct rhythmic way I witnessed Ray’s face transform to the bit revealing his past lives one after another. 

The final image here looks much like one of Ray’s past life as an Indonesian man. This was totally unexpected surprise.

Watch the face emerge from a doodled mist stroke by stroke. The video is unedited record of the painting process, time-lapsed of course. I love watching it..
