In nature beauty is hard to define but easy to recognize. There is beauty in the variety of flowers, birds, all the creation of God and many of which are vividly colourful. My present show “Splendour of Nature” is a creative reflection of nature representing verdant vignettes in brilliant colours. It is response to the beauty and simplicity.
Colours hold a special interest in these paintings. The work reveals a strong grip on colour contrasts and combinations. It is harmonized and sometimes divergences play vital role to enhance the aesthetics of the subject. The colours, are emotionally charged and have aesthetic representation with other elements of arts use in the paintings. The compositions are schematic, inviting the viewer to move into a space of speculation. The project is grounded in pleasure and aesthetics.
The general essence of the location, linear rhythm and colours in a flowing manner, are key features of my paintings. The paintings give fleeting glimpses of the hilly terrain and romantic ambience.
