Goa, Feb. 15 -- F N Souza is undoubtedly the greatest artist to emerge out of Goa and he still has the capacity to evoke very strong emotions. Janieta Singh, the author of the book, 'F N Souza - The Archetypical Artist' was very clear as to why she wrote the book on the man. She was going through a personal crisis and as she was looking at his work, she began to get more insights as she went on this self healing journey. She was also involved in Pallium psychology for over a decade. She began to see shadows in his work and then quickly came to believe that Souza's work is an exercise in shadow work of the collective human consciousness.

Everything that was suppressed and rejected is glorified, even if that gets a grotesque configuration....
