A lyrical figurative painting that explores the intimate relationship between music and emotion. Through flowing forms, warm earthy tones, and symbolic imagery, the artwork portrays two women connected by melody, movement, and a shared sense of serenity, creating a composition that feels both timeless and deeply expressive.

This evocative figurative painting captures a moment suspended between music, movement, and emotion. At its heart are two graceful female figures, rendered in the artist’s signature stylized form, connected through flowing strands of hair and delicate ribbons of blue. One figure plays a flute, while the other appears to surrender herself to its melody, creating a visual dialogue between sound and feeling.
The composition is rich with symbolism. The flute, often associated with harmony, longing, and spiritual connection, becomes a catalyst for transformation. The sweeping hair that dominates the canvas seems to move like a river of music, binding the two figures together and suggesting an invisible exchange of energy. The soft blue accents contrast beautifully against the warm reds, ochres, and earthy greens, bringing balance and rhythm to the work.
Rather than depicting a literal scene, the painting invites viewers into a dreamlike space where music takes a physical form and emotions flow freely. The elongated figures, serene expressions, and fluid lines create a sense of calm introspection, celebrating the power of art, connection, and inner harmony. Elegant and poetic, this artwork offers both visual beauty and emotional depth.
All my paintings have people wearing some headgear that has a face painted on them. This depicts the double-faced nature of people. Like we see in most profession where one wears uniform, like a policeman, a nurse, an army personnel or the Pope. One wears headgear to go with it as well. To me it is the depiction of the fact that we always wear a face that is different from the real one we have.
It is like a face we have to put up to suit the personality we want to project which is always different from the real one. For the past 25 years, acrylic colour has been the main medium for my paintings. After doing the line drawing on paper or canvas, a layer of acrylic is used like tempera on it. Then slowly the subjects and people are given shape using more layers of colour. Since I use fast colour, it gives a definite brightness to the figures. My figures have a definite inspiration from Egyptian paintings, thus the figures are drawn in the same form, the clothes that they wear have long lines making them look taller and in a way Egyptian. Most of my paintings are on 42½ x 48½ size which takes about 100 hours. My paintings, in a way are people I live with. They give me inspiration to produce more, to experiment more and thus to create my own world with them. It’s my world that I want the world to see.
