''My life and my cultural identity carve the directions of my expression. Inspirations for expression emerge around and within me. I want my creative concerns to be relevant to my times, imbibing local, regional and universal consciousness. I want to express these in my own creative visual imagery. I want to evolve and leave behind creative visual symbols as references to our times. I think in colour and achieve 'sthai bhava' (consistent factor) to accomplish creativity in my paintings"
Pal's women confront you with their power and grace. There are women and goddesses from myth and reality. She revives them from memory and history and positions them in the context of here and now. The iconic representation of women asserts their presence in the age of male domination. She empowers her heroines to balance the gender bias and creates a space for women and their representation. Her reference to the miniature tradition places her in a region that asserts her identity.
