Wilson D’ Souza | Untitled | Acrylic on Canvas | 36 x 36 inches | 2025
This striking painting by Wilson D’ Souza portrays a solitary musician captured in a moment of quiet concentration, rendered in the artist’s distinctive contemporary figurative style. The figure holds a bowed string instrument—suggestive of a violin or cello—its diagonal line cutting across the composition and introducing a strong sense of rhythm and balance. As is characteristic of D’ Souza’s work, the face is partially abstracted, shifting focus from individual identity to gesture and mood. Broad, angular brushstrokes and layered blocks of color build the form, giving the figure a sculptural presence while retaining painterly spontaneity. The palette of warm terracotta, soft whites, muted greys, and cool blues creates a harmonious contrast between warmth and calm restraint, evoking the emotional resonance of music itself. The background dissolves into abstract planes, allowing the musician to emerge as the central emotional anchor of the composition. The painting suggests introspection, discipline, and creative devotion, capturing music not merely as performance but as a deeply personal, meditative act.
Wilson Souza was born in Kayyar, in Kasargod district and is an alumnus of Mahasala School of Art, Mangaluru. He has been honoured at the Konkani Janapad Utsav by the Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy and conferred the Sadhana Award by Emirates Konkans.
Wilson believes in creating art that inspires. His paintings have a bold theme and mostly concentrate on feminine themes capturing the interplay of nature and the female form. Wilson’s romance with feminine themes has become his trademark narrative style. It is characterized by semi abstract strokes of bold colours, rendering it with an amalgam of fantasy and reality.
