I have named this painting ‘Impression‘ as it misses out on the details of the scape and beautifully depicts the necessary. I personally love the movement of the icy cold water, which adds a sense of rhythm to the piece. The blue adds to the drama and creates a sense of mystery. I could term it as a poetic work of art, a beautiful one indeed.
There’s a travel quote from Ibn Battuta that I love, which goes something like,
“Traveling leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”
This painting is also a story of a journey, maybe for some it could read as the start of a journey and for some the end, but what matters most is how we read the pages in between.
Many people are uncertain about their future. The road ahead may seem rugged.
One may feel their life is coming to an end.
It’s that little bit of hope and faith that is required to go on.
Life is full of ups and downs. It is just like the road being taken by this car.
Sometimes rocky and sometimes flat, but in the end it’s all about the spectacular pieces of nature,
the sky piercing mountains and the beautiful view.
Nature that represent the path, the skies are symbolic of the highs
of life and the view is a resemblance of looking back at life and enjoying its smallest moments.
Blue especially this deep. soulful shade, has always captured my heart. It doesn’t demand attention. It quietly invites you to pause, breathe, and simply be. In this painting, the tree embodies that serene energy, subtle yet powerful. I hope that you can feel it too and its peaceful presence brings the same sense of healing and inspiration to your space as it does to mine.
“I don’t know how to describe this painting.
I should have something to say-| always do.
The idea of a Kalpavriksha in lavender and purple came to me out of nowhere while I was working on something I started painting, and for the first time, my mind was completely blank. No thoughts about the process, no passing ideas-just silence.
My hands moved, the colors blended, and the tree took form.
Even now, as I try to put it into words, there’s nothing.
Just this strange, quiet stillness.
Maybe it’s the presence of Kalpavriksha-The Tree of Life, the divine giver of abundance. Or maybe it’s the color itself. Lavender carries the energy of calm, of healing, of a quiet strength that doesn’t need to announce itself. Together, they create something beyond just a painting-it’s a feeling, a moment, an unspoken connection.
They say lavender calms the mind, but what if it does more than that? What if it opens doors we didn’t even know existed?
I don’t have the answers. But I do know this-some paintings don’t need explanations.”
Let me take you into the heart of my second painting in the Kalpavriksha series. In this piece, I’ve wrapped the entire scene-from the foreground to the background-in rich shades of red. Every inch of the painting is infused with this color, and that choice was deeply intentional.
Red is the color of life itself-it’s the pulse of passion, the warmth of love, and the force behind every desire we hold close.
By surrounding the entire painting in this hue, it feels as though the tree is alive with energy, radiating its magic outward, ready to fulfill the wishes of anyone who stands before it.
The continuous red makes the tree feel connected to everything around it, as if the wishes it grants are woven into the very fabric of the universe. I wanted the painting to reflect that idea-that the power to make our dreams come true isn’t just in the tree, it’s all around us, waiting for us to believe in it. This painting, with its deep, warm red tones, invites you to feel that energy every time you look at it, as if the Kalpavriksha is whispering, “Your wishes are closer than you think.”
When I started this painting, I wondered if it would take me somewhere different than I had envisioned. And it did. Sometimes, things don’t come together the way we want, and I asked myself if it was because I wasn’t trying hard enough or if it was meant to become something else. At first, I struggled with the composition at the bottom-it didn’t feel right, and I felt my patience slipping away. Then, I decided to change direction, and that’s when everything fell into place.
The painting took flight, and I was happy to see it come together in a way that felt just right. But one thing I was sure of from the very start was that it should feel like an umbrella of love and care, wrapping everything in its gentle embrace and now when I look at it, it does feel warm and protective, like a hug that promises safety and love. Just like my red tree, this one fills me with a sense of calm, reminding me that under its shelter, everything is safe and cared for.
Introducing the first painting in my Kalpavriksha series, inspired by the revered tree of life-known as the wish-fulfilling tree. Kalpavriksha is a symbol of abundance, prosperity, and spiritual fulfillment, believed to grant every wish to those who seek its blessings.
In this piece, I have painted the tree in vibrant shades of yellow, capturing its grandeur and timeless beauty.
The richness of the colors reflects the abundance that the tree offers, embodying wealth and prosperity. The tree’s roots are shown emerging from the depths of the ocean, symbolizing its mythical origins during the churning of the cosmic milk ocean, a tale of creation and divine power.
This painting invites you to connect with the sacred, reminding us that the universe is filled with endless possibilities, much like the Kalpavriksha itself-a beacon of hope, prosperity, and boundless potential.
Kashmir a place that echoes nature’s beauty. This painting is a result of my visit to this place as soulfully described by Emperor Jehangir-“If there is paradise on Earth it is here, it is here, it’s here. For all nature lovers, this piece is for you.
