This delicate mixed-media work by Yugal Kishore Sharma brings together a deep blue ground and hand-rendered golden motifs to create a poetic, almost dreamlike composition. Lotus flowers, individual petals, and small floating botanical forms are scattered across the blue surface, creating the impression of a calm pond seen from above. The rich blue is layered with fine, flowing linear marks that gently move across the surface, adding depth and rhythm without disturbing the work’s overall serenity.

The use of gold leaf gives the flowers and petals a warm, luminous quality. Rather than appearing heavily ornamental, the golden forms seem to drift naturally across the blue field, creating a beautiful contrast between the cool depth of the background and the warmth of the gold. Some flowers appear fully formed while others are represented only by individual petals, giving the composition a spontaneous and organic rhythm.

The work has an intimate, contemplative quality. Its simplicity allows the viewer to pause and notice the small variations in each flower and petal, while the sweeping blue form creates a strong visual structure. Sharma’s treatment of the lotus transforms a familiar natural motif into something more atmospheric—suggesting quiet water, movement, reflection, and a moment of stillness.
