Champaklal - The Artist and a Yogi

Graphic Designs

(At one stage Champaklal also did a number of graphic designs with colour pencils or felt-pens. These interesting designs have a spontaneity about them and are far from being conventional patterns or mere decorative motifs. Below are some of his works.)

Sketch after seeing a vision

"

Sketch of a vision.

“The Vision had a marvellous effect on my entire body.

OM, SHREEMA, M—all these symbols, the way I saw them were looking real, alive. How can that be shown? A variety of rays of light of various colours were spreading out from all its sides. I could not show all these colours here. This is an ordinary sketch from which I wanted to make a large painting, but it does not seem possible now. It is also difficult to write about it.”
