"Expression for me does not reside in passions glowing on a human face... composition is the art of arranging in a decorative manner the diverse elements at the painter's command to express his feelings."
An entirely self-taught artist, Ara's work was rooted in the joy of creativity, focusing on nudes, still life and human figure studies. He was a founder member of the Progressive Artists Group and had several shows with them. Through the incorporation and mixture of new styles with traditional Indian art elements and media, the PAG remains one of the most influential art movements in India even today.
