"Carrying a sheaf of wheat, a young woman gazes at the future with steadfastness and purpose. Behind her, roiling clouds are bathed in sunset's glow. 'Life is an eternal struggle between the haves and the have-nots,' artist Jay Karun muses.
'This painting represents a Keralite peasant woman in the times of the revolution. The sickle around the neck represents a dual symbolism - the struggle of the proletariat to earn their bread by the sweat of their brows and the fact that this selfsame symbol of their sustenance acts as a double edged sword, becoming a weapon of oppression and misery, plunging them into the depths of despair.
'History has shown that mankind's indomitable spirit rises from the ashes. Here, too, the woman in the painting reveals an inner power, a vital spirit that is revealed in her bold eyes. The ominous sky has a tone and tenor that hangs like a prophesy over the woman's head.'"

"My passion for art started very early. I was born on March 14, 1970 in Cochin, Kerala. During my schooldays, I regularly participated in painting competitions and won several prizes for the same. My endless passion for art led me to study fine arts. I did my Graduation in Fine Arts from Tripunithura, the erstwhile capital of present day Kochi, in Kerala.
"During the pre-independence era, the royal dynasties nourished art and culture to such an extent that Tripunithura flourished under their patronage. I spent my formative years imbibing this rich culture and heritage, which had a far reaching impact on my thinking and my artistic impulses.
"I started my career as a graphic designer and am presently working as associate creative director in a well known advertising agency in India. To keep in touch with my real passion, I regularly do paintings.
"I work mostly in acrylic on canvas, oil on canvas, digital art, collage, charcoal on paper, mixed media, etc. But I usually think of the idea first and then choose a process or technique that will lend expression to the concept in the best manner.
"Each new day, each new experience inspires me – the world around me, nature, people, events, places… all these are my sources of inspiration.
"I have exhibited my work in different solo and group exhibitions in my home state. My painting was also selected for display in the Lalitha Kala Academy, which is a great honor for any artist.
"I am so delighted to be a part of Novica. It is an online exhibition platform without boundaries, and therefore has limitless opportunities for people like me."
