A new body of work is taking shape on the studio floor — a continuation, and perhaps a deepening, of the language explored in Maitri.
Where Maitri moved with soft, undulating contours, these paintings push the surface further: heavier brushwork, denser fields of colour, a more architectural sense of weight. The works arrive slowly. They are built up, scraped back, and built again — many layers, like a lifetime, settling into harmony only after the unexpected combinations have been allowed to meet.
The studio remains the engine — paint mixed in buckets on the floor, large canvases leaned against the wall, time given as freely as the work asks for it.
