Description |
The use of red and yellow draws inspiration from India's rich cultural symbolism. Red, a sacred and powerful colour in Indian traditions, represents energy, strength, and spirituality. It is often associated with auspiciousness, from wedding attire to religious rituals, symbolising prosperity and divine blessings. The vibrant yellow hues in the background recall the significance of turmeric, a sacred and purifying element in Indian ceremonies, as well as the brilliance of the sun, representing knowledge and enlightenment. Beneath the chaotic, fluid layers of red, hints of intricate yellow patterns emerge, suggesting hidden forms or scripts, adding depth and a sense of mystery. The interplay between structured motifs and spontaneous, flowing strokes creates a compelling contrast, inviting the viewer to explore the tension between control and free expression. |
