“Drawings drawn by the children carry the early and innocent state. When I do pen and ink lines for my series of ‘Soul collector’ I experience a meditative state that guides me to connect to the consciousness. What emerges then is the dream state that awakens in my heart, which reveals what I want to express,” renowned artist Raghavan N shares his views on his drawings to be presented at Pondicherry today.

“The Soul Collector is a seeker of his journey after the Souls leave the body. It is a treasure for her and her duty is to guide the Souls for the next life in a new body,” he added.
