Maitri — a Sanskrit term often translated as loving kindness — describes a state of unconditional friendliness toward oneself and the world. In this body of work, the word becomes a temperature, a posture, a way of looking.
The paintings move slowly. Soft, undulating forms feel almost animated, yet never frantic. Colour is laid down with a tenderness that resists urgency; surfaces breathe rather than declare.
Recurring motifs of concentric rings, organic contours and weighted brushwork ask the viewer to slow down — to stay, to look until looking becomes a form of care.
