About the Artwork
The Hymn
Painting- 2022
In this diptych, warm tones of red, pink, and orange interwoven with the Agnihotra Mantra evoke the cyclical nature of life, creation, and transformation. The circular text and rhythmic colours create a spiritual harmony, symbolising purification, energy, and the eternal balance between the material and the divine.
