Emphatically pictorial, the conjunction of form and space created inexplicable new associations. In his later works the human form had begin to appear almost as the self's representative.

4. His inquiry for an apt medium for image making was coupled by constant and pertinent interrogation linked to his derivative thought process. Enamel paints were used while his stay in Varanasi to overcome the obligation and non availability of oil colours despite knowing the shortcomings of the medium. With a gradual progression in the technique, the artist explains his need for certain sheen where he successfully blends the commercial paint to achieve the result of oils and beyond through a layered method.

5. Writing being significantly his second nature, he practiced it meticulously and lovingly which is needlessly explained by its prevalence in the numerous letters, written to his daughter Sonali and to others from the arts community. Full of circumlocutions his verbal analysis of visual intricacies has formed a basis for critical thinking for aesthetic decisions. This phenomenon is evidently influential in the works of many young artists who conversed with him or his book Kora Canvas in Marathi. It is noted that rather than his personal life, an expression of curiosity, discussion and theorization of his thoughts regarding art, forms his entire habit of verbalizing on paper. Thus occupation for him was either his art practice or writing.
