"The Romanticists' explanation of creativity convinced me so that the painterly skills seemed to me to be more in the realm of technique as in the case of craftsman and the creativity implied what a painter could be beyond this. That is why how a poet or literary person sees the world around him, gets involved with experiences of life and how they effect his emotions, are according to me the sort of situations that a ‘feeling person’ encounters, contributing to the making of the creatively endowed artist."

Ratan Parimoo believes that the artist lives in an imaginative world induced by such experiences and feelings. His paintings represent his urge to express the world as he experiences it. Parimoo having taught Art history and Aesthetics at the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S.University Baroda is very lucid about the concept of creativity and aesthetics. One encounters his conceptions clearly in his paintings. His style or genre can’t be stifles into a bracket but he moves effortlessly from one form of expression to another.

Parimoo lives and works in Baroda.
