Provenance
Pai has ever abided by the perennial source of his inspiration - man and nature...His response to his surroundings, to the thrills of life and experience, has been immediate and intense...Pai has a mind which soars high in the realm of fancy...His women appear in their pristine form, the womanly attributes become symbolical and are reduced to elemental motifs, like fruits, flowers and foliage. This concept, Purusha and Prakriti, corresponds to the conventional Indian idea of man and nature.
