In my teenage years, he suggested reading Ways of Seeing by John Berger. He asked me to never copy anybody and to explore my own style. When he came back and saw what I had made, he was visibly upset. I had been observing him paint the entire time and took a sheet of paper and colours to recreate his painting. I remember a time when he had finished painting and had gone outside to wait for it to dry. His practice has inspired me in multiple ways. In what ways did his practice inspire you? Did he impart any specific artistic knowledge or teach you how to paint? M.F. My grandfather was extremely knowledgeable and I loved having conversations with him about everything under the sun be it books, art, movies or life. I would always be enamoured by what he was painting and would stay glued to his side throughout. Our summer vacations entailed the entire family travelling to Mumbai to spend time at our family house. I have fond memories of watching my grandfather paint.
