“An artist is always emotional. Without emotions there is no art. Even when I listen to songs and watch an emotional scene in a movie I get teary. And when I draw the hills I have to go there. I mean not go there literally but I have to feel the hills, pictures the hill top hut and the trees and the mountains. All in the mind you see. How can one draw hills and mountains without being there, without picturing the place, without being emotional.”
– Mahesh Chaudari, Met him in Bhagwati Bahal, Kathmandu
