Champaklal Speaks : 'It is the Ramayana of my life'. 'My life is Sri Aurobindo & the Mother only. To write down their sweet memories is Champaklal's worship'
Sri Aurobindo: “His paintings are very living and very expressive. He is certainly an artist.... The artistic part is all right but there is nothing vast in the idea. Everything is all right except the figures. The faces are not satisfying. There is calm, trance or sweetness in them but no deeper conception. He is an artist but as I said his figures... but I have not fixed my opinion yet.”
Sri Aurobindo's comments on the paintings:
Yamuna: The river is good but the figure is self-satisfied.
Krishna and Vidur: Vidur is good.
Kailas: Quite good.
Shiva with Cobra: Good.
Shiva profile: More original; there is some expression.
Durga and Fire: Good. The face is not that of Fire. They seem to have benevolent, goody-goody faces.
Child: Good.
Mountain: Good.
Manasarovar: Good.
